The good Lord has taken my Uncle up to heaven and from there he will watch down on all of us. We have such a beautiful family and we will miss him tremendously. Thank you so much for everyone who took care of him while he was ill.
Love Dale and Jennifer Tomlinson

What a great guy! So fortunate to have been able to call him my cousin. He was always smiling and laughing. Never saw him upset or mad. Glad I got to spend part of his final days with him and the family. I feel so blessed! He is smiling down from heaven. No telling what stories he and Uncle Jimmie are sharing about now!
Love, Cathy
