In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I'd like to extend my condolences to all the family members who are grieving the loss of their loved one. You are in my thoughts. Uncle Tom will be very much missed.

Grandpa,I remember how you used to play w/ me when I was a little girl.You were not only my grandfather but my father figure.I take comfort in that your up in heather w/ grandma.I love you so much I will miss you so much.

Wayne,  I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Last week at work we were talking about growing up and of all things -fishing. I told of how your Dad would come home from work and take us fishing. From a kid who's Dad rarely came home, I always thought your Dad was special.
I know it's been a hundred years since I've seen you but I'll never forget how your Dad took the time for us back then. When I take my Grandsons fishing this summer at camp, I will raise my Irish whiskey and toast to a great man. My prayers are with you and yours.

My prayers to everyone in Uncle Tom's family; he will be deeply missed.  I have always felt close to him & Aunt Pearl from reading the many letters written to my mom throughout the years, and by keeping in touch with their children (my cousins). I am so happy that I was able to see Uncle Tom several times over the past ten years and have warm memories.  My mom and dad were also very fond of him. In my thoughts forever!

Dearest Doris, my sincerest condolences to you and the family.  Doris, I remember meeting your parents when you and I were room-mates at the hospital in Oakland.  It was your first time in being in an adult hospital.  I remember your darling parents coming in to be with you.  How much they loved you!  I'm not sure if you remember me or not, but keep thinking about McDonald's Shamrock Shakes and your love of them and know that I have thought of you and your family over the years.  May you have the comfort in your memories and in the love that you share and that your parents are together again.

I always called Uncle Tom "My favorite Uncle from the East!" And he was, not a bad memory in my mind, only good times and laughter.  I only wished we could have lived closer so the visit's could have been more frequent.  My thoughts and prayers go out to all the children of Uncle Tom and Sweet Aunt Pearl.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
