Uncle Tom was my encouragement and hope. His story will be told to others. I am very sorry for Ann and whole Barlow family including me. At the same time I am happy for Uncle Tom because he is in the best hands now. I miss you, Uncle Tom, but I’ll see you around sometime, when God decides to call me home.
