I’m sending my deepest sympathy to the family of Thomas. He will be missed greatly. Prayers and godspeed ❤
Sending prayers to the entire Family of Thomas. May God give you all comfort and peace. Valerie and I love you all so very much.
To Tom’s family and Cindy. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m one of Tom’s many cousins on the Cook side. He attended the family reunions several times. He is the grandchild that looked the most like Grandpa Clarence. I am sure he will be missed.
