Dear great Uncle Tom,
You were taken from us here too soon, but we know you were called to your heavenly reward, and that you will continue to watch over us until we meet again.
I will miss having an uncle with whom I shared a love of history and reading. I always cherished the Christmas celebrations that you so kindly invited us to, where we could get together with family in love and laughter.
Much love to you and prayers for Aunt Sylvia and the rest of your family.
~Kevin
