To the Wilson family - May God comfort you today and give you a special awareness of His presence in the days to come. I read from a family member that Tom had settled his salvation with the Lord. Let that comfort you, knowing that absent from the body is present with the Lord. For Christians we have that peace that we will be reunited one day and it will be for eternity.

As one of Tom's Scramble Committee Vice-Chairmen, we had some great times together at the Rodeo. My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of grief. All of his Calf Scramble DA brothers will miss him greatly.

The best gift in life we are given is "eternal life" as long as we have Jesus as our savior! I know I can say this to you!
Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean we will miss you
Until we meet again!
I love you Uncle Tom and you will be missed by many! I also feel as God took your hand and as you entered through the Gates of Heaven the first family you saw was your mom , dad & daughter and then all the others waiting to welcome you home! What a great welcome you had! I will see you again Uncle Tom along with all the others that have gone on before me! Thank you for all the great memories you leave behind! Forever Loved----Forever in our hearts!

Uncle Tom will always have a special place in our hearts due to taking such good care of us on trail rides and always treating us like one of the Wilson family. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him or met him along life's journey. Our thoughts and prayers are with Randy, Jimmy Lou and the rest of the family at this time.

I will always remember Tommy as a loving family man that had an open heart for everyone and was friends with all. Jimmie and Randy, wish I could be there with you during this time. Know that you are all in my thoughts, my prayers and I love you guys. May peace be with you and know that Tommy is in God's loving arms now with Kathy, and you will see them both again.
