Doug and Sherri, I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your family at this. You are in my thoughts.
This just breaks my heart. Uncle Tom was the nicest, sweetest man I ever knew. I know he is in heaven with God, our Savior. May he rest in peace. My sincere sympathy with warm thoughts and prayers.
Another angel got his wings! He will be sorely missed and this breaks my heart, but I know that he is in a better place. Uncle Tom was such a sweet heart and I hope that you can find some comfort in knowing that he is resting in the arms of the Lord.
Sorry for your loss. He was a kind and loving man. I’ll keep him in my prayers

So sorry for your loss. Uncle Tom was a warm kind man who always made me laugh. He was truly one of the good people who made this earth a better place. May he rest in peace.
Thank you Dad for being the most amazing father a son could ask for. I love you so very much Dad! I will honor you the rest of my days here on this earth as you have given me the greatest gift, the roadmap of how to live a Christian life through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Until we meet again Pops! Love, your adoring son. Godspeed my sweet Father.
