So Sorry to hear about Tom. I have often thought of Tom and Ernestine over the years. I remember Tom as a loving person ,someone that cared very much.When I was young he gave me a lot of needed advice. We will all miss him. LOVE IN CHRIST WE WILL SEE HIM AGAIN
We send our love and prayers to each of you. Uncle Tom was a very special man to us he always had time for a story with that big smile of his for everyone. If you were ever in need he was right there for you. He will be missed dearly but we are so blessed to have a wonderful man like him to be a part of our lives. Take care.
