Dearest Ms Ann, I have heard so much about you and Tom from Maria. We attend church with Maria and Jerry in Cabot Arkansas and it's obvious how much influence you both had on Maria. I pray that the Lord will give you strength during this most difficult time. Because of our Savior we will see Tom again in Heaven! May God's blessings be with you and the family.

Maria and Jerry, our prayers are with both of you and your families. I did not know your dad but I am sure that he was a super person and the things he taught you show that he was dedicated to the Lord and His work here on this earth. Our loss is a big gain for him and for the Lord and Angels in Heaven. WE love you all.
