May God wrap in his arms and give you comfort at this sad time.You are all in our thoughts and prayers.Gail&Perry Scott and Carol Pierce from all @ Reflections
Barbara and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Tom. I am so happy that I got to see him when he came to the office yesterday. I hope you know how much he meant to me (and to all of us) at the office. We were all devastated today when Dr. Kim told us. He will surely be missed by us and by the other patients who had become part of his extended family.
God Bless you all. Debbie
So sorry for your loss ..
Holbert family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out for your family. Seems like only yesterday when we were kids and Tom was coaching our baseball team. He was a fine man and an excellent role model for us. May God give you peace in this hour.
Respectfully,
todd
