I just heard about Tom. I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers. Remember God is with you always and with Him all things are possible. I know the grief you are going through, just hang on to God's hand and he will see you through.

Thelma, I'm so sorry to learn the sad news about Tom. If there is any way that I can be of help, don't hesitate to let me know.

I came across the following quote one day and would like to share it with you:

God gives answers in 3 ways: He says yes and gives what you want, He says no and gives something better, or He says wait and gives the best.

Tom's faith and yours anchors the trust that Tom is now receiving the fullest and best possible answers to any and all of his prayers. Your sadness and sorrow likewise give witness to your thankfulness for the unique gift that Tom was in your life -- and your continued trust in God.

I'm sorry I couldn't be with you during this time, but having your children and grandchildren with you was undoubtedly a blessing.

My condolences to Thelma and the family. Tom & Thelma were our neighbors for several years. They invited myself and my sisters to church every sunday. Tom was a great man. Peace be with you.
