Geez, where do you begin to sum up the essence of Tom Townsend? He was very funny, creative, bigger than life and commanded the attention of everybody in the room. His memorial service was beautiful yesterday and it was great to see all of his paintings. I am sending healing thoughts to his family and friends.
Tom spent his life creating. Sara and Tom are together now, may they both rest in peace.

My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of Tom. Tom filled my life with wonderful memories-I will always hold a special place in my heart for him. May this prayer carry us all through this difficult time. God, when I'm sad, I love how you sit in the silence with me, just being there with your comforting presence surrounding me and easing my sorrow. It makes it easier for me to let go of my sorrow and accept the joy that you want me to have. You never push nor chide. Thank you for your gentleness and for the hope you always hold out to me. When I am done crying, I know you will be there to help me laugh again. God Bless.
