I didn´t have the honor of knowing your Uncle Tom personally, but I know how deeply you and your children loved and admired him. The way you´ve spoken of him shows the impact he made on your family, and I truly respect the memories you shared with me since he moved to Greenwood, MS to help you with the kids. My heart is with you and your family during this time.

I did NOT know Tom, personally. However, I'm writing this because I DID know Tom thru others who loved him. Everyone should have/had a Tom Pendleton in their life. The stories told about him described him as: loving, caring, giving, patient, kind, fun....and more. May God bless Tom and his family and may we all strive to be like Tom.
