Tom was a wonderful man, he was funny, he was serious, he was always there for anyone in need with comforting words. I hope each of you can feel God's hand on your shoulder, I hope each of you will smile every time you think of Tom. I know everyone is saddened by Tom's death but lets all celebrate Tom. He would want us to go forth and love everyone just as he did. We will meet again!
