Thoughts and prayers to Janice and the family. We were blessed to cross paths with a great man.
On behalf of the facility thank you for sharing such an amazing, sweet man with us. It was an honor to take care of him. He was very comfortable with all of us and we all loved him and his amazing smile said he loved us too! A day before his heavenly journey we sat outside a while. He was so happy and peaceful! Smiling talking the whole time. He thanked us five times! He will definitely be missed and definitely made a big impact on us all.
Tommy was like a brother to me, even though we were cousins. He will be missed. I shared the gospel with him and I believe he accepted Jesus as his Savior. We had some good times growing up. He was a hard worker and loved his family. My prayers go out to the family. Love you brother!
Our Prayers are with this sweet family. We pray God will comfort and give each one peace during this time. Ronnie & Peg Bishop
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to family and friends. May all of your good memories be greater than your sadness during this difficult time. (Isaiah 25:8)
To a friend and work buddy I will always have great memories...... Tommy Mason
