Tom took flight into the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ on Sunday, March 28, 2010 at 12:13 PM. How happy he must be. He was 53. Tom believed If we meet and you forget me...you have lost nothing. If you meet Jesus Christ and forget him...you have lost everything However, Tom will never be forgotten.

Tom was a good man, great friend and wonderful husband and father. An incredible God fearing man, Tom touched the lives of many people and instilled in them his values beliefs as well as his knowledge of Gods precious Word. He always had the Biblical knowledge wisdom to steer someone in the right direction, and was admired for that in his life. Tom led by example, with tenacity, steadfastness, and strong convictions. He helped them through dark times with encouragement and guidance and will not be forgotten.

From a friend of Toms, The world is slightly more dim this week since Toms light has been extinguished. Still we know that we will meet him one day in much more pleasant circumstances. Bodies free from the ravages of disease and time, with an eternity to enjoy what God has prepared for those who love him. As we approach Easter, it is a time to reflect in the sacrifice that Christ made for us so that we can have the confidence of seeing our loved ones again....knowing that death is not the end, but the beginning.
