Dear Marcy & Jason
We sure miss our visits back to MN that always included a stop at your house. And now you live in North Dakota. It doesn't seem possible that it has been six years since Tom's death. So many memories fill our hearts and minds. Travels to other areas of the country. It was always a joy to have you two on the motor coach. Such a great couple. Sending our Love & Hugs, Annette & JR Jopp

They are blessed to have a wonderful son, Jason. We extend blessings to Marcy & Jason especially on the anniversary of Tom's passing. Our Love & Hugs, Annette & JR

I was saddened to hear about uncle Tom. Although I didn't see him much, every time I did see him he was always smiling! He was a good-hearted man. He is now in Heaven, out of pain and wrapped in the arms of our Lord and Savior.
