God Bless you Uncle Tom. It has been a pleasure being apart of your life. You will be missed by all those whose lives you have touched. We will meet again. In the meantime, we will be looking up at the stars, knowing that you and your family are looking down at us from heaven above.

You will be missed by all that you have left behind on earth Uncle Tom. Your smile, kindness and the love that flows from your heart are the small gifts that you shared with us. You were a man with little to say but your actions always spoke louder than words. You will be especially missed by those that you raised on the farm; P.J., Caroline, Mary, Billy, Mike and those nephews and neices that would visit when school was over for the summer. Let's not forget about the older generation of nephews and neices that would come to your farm and stay. They learned a thing or two from you as well.
Although you are leaving us behind, you are joining those family members that left us here long ago. Uncle Ted, Uncle John, Uncle Jim, Uncle Bill, Grandpa Ed and Aunt Delia. They will be waiting for you at the pearly gates to our Lord haven. We will join you someday Uncle. In the mean time, your journey home is over and you are on your way back into the arms of our Lord. God Bless you Uncle Tom and God Bless those that you have left behind.

Our sympathy to the entire Theys family.
Remembering Tom as a hard worker and willing to help everyone. When our parish needed things to be done you could always count on Tom to be there. Tom has truly earned a special place in heaven.

Sleep peacefully with God,
