Tom could light up a room with his laugh and his smile. I truly believe he could inspire anyone with his smile or the little twinkle in his eye!
Tom, you will be missed by everyone who was blessed by you! May the Angels of heaven receive you in love and kindness. And may your family be blessed with your light, smile, and the echo of your contagious laugh!
Much love, Angel
