Oh Bev I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a special friend to us for many years and always had such a giving, servant heart. I know that you are missing him so much already and it's strange because it is so bitter sweet. Knowing that he is with Jesus allows us to be joyful for him but at the same time not having him here is sorrowful for you and your precious family.
I pray that our Lord will saturate you with His peace and comfort until you see him again one day. We love you Bev and family. Susan Arnold and family.
