I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I spent some time w/ Tom at a conference in St. Louis. Although I did not know Tom well, it was evident how proud he was of his family as the phone calls home to his wife and little girl appeared to be the highlight of his day. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

Although Tom & I worked in separate departments I had the pleasure or our paths crossing by emails and phone calls. He was one of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to speak with.
Take comfort in knowing that he is in a good place where only the best of the best go which is what he was.
Sincerely,

Amy and Tom's Wedding day

Our deepest condolences to all of the Berube and Anderson families, and especially to Amy and Isabelle. It was our privilege to get to know Tom and his family over the last 2 years as he and Amy visited often to plan their wedding here at our Inn. The love and joy that Tom and Amy always radiated was inspiring and infectious. It just made you feel good to be around them! It was always so evident that Tom’s deep love of Amy and Isabella and his extended family was the center of his life. Although he was taken far too soon, I hope that that the deep love you all shared with Tom will comfort you though this terrible time. Please remember that this love you shared together never dies, it is in all of you, as Tom is too. Forever in our hearts.
With Love, Judy, Alan, Tristan and Mark Edmunds

To the Berube Family,
Just heard the very sad news about Tommy and wanted to let you know how sorry we are to hear of your loss. I recall a conversation from many years ago, where Tommy, at a very young age, approached me to offer his encouragement and prayers as my father was battling cancer. I'm sure this is just one example of his kind and thoughtful demeanor. We will keep you in our prayers during this very difficult time.
