To the family of Tom Billingsley. I met Thomas as a member of New Alliance Social Club and we were fellow Scorpios. WE had a Scorpio party together one year. I remember him as always offering to do whatever he could and always going above and beyond! May God surround you with the peace that surpasse all understanding in this time of bereavement.

To the Family of Thomas Earl,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Thomas Earl, and I offer my deepest sympathy to his brothers and sisters and to his children. Thomas Earl was always frienly and kind to me, He was a fun-loving person. Whenever I saw him in the store or at church he would always speak or nod hello.
May God strengthen you in this difficult hour. You are in my prayers
