My deepest sympathy to Florine and the Strickland family.
I feel very fortunate to have been able to know Tom and to be blessed by his kind and caring personality. He has left a lasting memory on myself and my family. Bryce was especially sad to hear of his passing.
God bless you and keep you in his loving care. Dawn
