Tom was a true gentleman who expressed his gratitude for and love of his life and family in his willingness to help others.

Thank you, Tom, for all of your kindness to me and so many others; thank you for your friendship. I was blessed to have known you. You will be missed by many. Rest in peace, my friend.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to Sharon and Tom's entire family of loved ones; he glowed whenever he spoke of you all! It was evident you were much loved and cherished. May those loving memories offer some small comfort in your time of sorrow.

Tom lived in service to those about him. He was a true gentleman and one of the most supportive people I've had the honor to work with. He gave me more kind and supportive words than anyone else in his position. I will miss him and this world is poorer for his absence, but I'm sure he's already asking about available service positions in heaven.

Tom, I don't think you ever fully realized just how much I LOVED YOU! You will be with me always and forever. I know down in the deepest part of my heart you are at finally at peace, but that doesn't make it easier to accept. With time and prayer, that moment will someday arrive and we will be together again. Love, Sharon

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
