I'm so sadden to hear Tom has passed. I had no idea. I lost my mom the month before, they had been good friends and Sunday School freinds in Alvarado. I knew him and Jeannie very well in Alvarado. Loved both of them so much. He was so very interesting to talk with. Always kept up with what was going on. So happy that they are togather again, in heaven. Love to both of them.

I didn't know Tom as closely as I did until my Mother Florence pased away. Tom was of great comfort to our family and gave my Mother a wonderful service. I met a man of immense character and faith. Even though our friendship was short, it will have a long-lasting effect on my life. Thankyou Tom.

Tommy and I met in 1946 at the Student Ministers Association meeting at TWC. He led us in singing "Be still, miy soul, The Lord is on thy side."
We often talked about whatever happens just be still and remember the Lord is on our side. He was a good friend and will be missed and remembered. Charles Whittle
