You have my deepest sympathy. Your dedication to taking care of your brother was amazing. I enjoyed the conversations that you shared at the Alzheimers group on Tuesday nights. Tom is in eternal peace. We only have a slight wonderment and anticipation of that kind of glory. I know you struggled with making decisions for him because you only wanted to do the best for him. Bless your heart. You are an amazing sister. I am thankful you came to my group and shared so many fresh ideas. God bless you,
Irene, My sincere condolences to you and your family in this time of sorrow. May the good memories and light of Tom’s once vibrant energy always shine and be with you.
Anita, Janet, Gerald & the complete family, I was saddened to hear about the death of your son & brother Tom. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of sorrow. I remember Tom in his younger years, he was such a nice person with a great personality. May he finally be at PEACE now with OUR LORD. God’s Blessings to all of the family at this time of sorrow.
I have wonderful memories of my brother-in-law. He was always there to bail me out of trouble when I was a teenager. Some of the most beautiful photos I have of my daughter as an infant were taken by Tommy.
I have many fond, funny and wonderful memories of Tommy.
Tommy was so very talented and creative. My condolences to his family.
