Linda, Steve, Alex, Leah and family,

I'm so sorry that you had to loose your Dad and Grandpa. It's hard at any time of year but this time is especially difficult.

"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

Peace,

Jayne, Jonathan & Jack

What wonderful neighbors you and Tom have been to us. I was so saddened Saturday morning when Jim hung up the phone. He told me that Tom looked great and was talking up a storm with him on Friday. I pray that you and your family can find peace this holiday season. Know that Tom is and will always be with you in spirit. We will miss you dearly Tom!!! If you ever need anything Billie, please call us and we will be right there to help. All our love to you and your family!



Love,

Billie & family--I will always remember your kindness to our family way back when we arrived in Mn. Sorry to hear of your loss. Tom was a good person --not many left these days. I hope he is a peace and you are comforted by that.

Sorry to miss the visitation but I have no way to get there. But my thoughts are with your family.

Tom, I still have two of those stupid fruitcakes in my freezer that you made me buy...maybe I could send them to heaven with you. You could keep busy and out of trouble by trying to get rid of them. I know that you and Tommy will be looking over your family giving them little nudges of love and a few "what are you thinking?" I will miss you...
