Message: My sincere sympathies go out to all Tom's family. Tom and I have been friends since grade school, I so enjoyed going out to the farm, riding horse, motorcycle and just hanging out, I have a lot of good memories of those times. Although we did not keep in close contact I always received word from my folks on how Tom was doing. The last time Tom and I talked was last Thanksgiving, we had a great visit and it was like old times. I pray Tom you can now be at rest and be free. Rest in Peace my dear friend until we meet again. May the Lord wrap his arms around your family and give them comfort at this time. Good bye my friend.
