“Father in heaven, your Word is sufficient for our every need. Right now, our sister Carol needs comfort. Here is our prayer; please make these truths a reality in our lives:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

We had some fun times in those younger years in Clayton. Miss those days, Tom. My prayers are with you. Blessings.
So sorry for you loss. Prayers to all family and friends.
Tommy was my sweet dear brother. I loved him very, very much. I will miss him so. Tom is now singing with the angels in heaven and praising the Heavenly Father and walking on the streets of gold.
My brother made this world a better place because he was so loving.
Mike and I are greatly saddened to lose our friend Tom. I loved to hear his “Jersey accent”! A kind and caring man for sure. Though we will miss him we are relived that his journey is at an end and that he is resting in our Lord’s arms with a new healthy body to enjoy in heaven. ❤️🙏🏻
I will miss Tom and his smile and courage. I pray for Carol and the family. He was loved by so many.

Sam and I both loved Tom and had great respect for this man of God!!!!!!!
We both will miss all the texts and pictures, that we would send back and forth to each other over the years.
One specific memory that stands out above all is when he gave each of us an alone ride with just him in his Chevelle. He said we must experience it alone, for the full experience and affect.
He would light up like a Christmas tree, while driving or talking about that Chevelle!!!!!!!!
We still have the blue t-shirts, that he had made to give out for gifts
to us, with the his Chevelle on the t-shirts.
We know we will see our brother again in our Heavenly home, as he was a real believer and loved The Lord Jesus.
So sorry for your loss Carol.
To my beautiful Aunt Carol,
I love you and I miss you. God gave you Tom for a purpose and a season. It is now time for a new purpose and a new season. I pray for you to continue with more passion, faith, and love. That you seek God with your whole heart. That you may get closer than ever to your first love. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
For your Maker is your husband — the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
Isaiah 54:5
