To the Family, so sorry for your loss. Hope you will be comforted in knowing that Thomas has the prospect of being resurrected, healthy (in the flesh), to Paradise Earth just as Jehovah God has promised. In fact , the vast majority will enjoy everlasting life right here on earth as God had intended from the beginning. God's Kingdom will do this under the Rulership of Jesus Christ. READ John 5:28, 29, Job 14:14, 15,Psalms 37:29,Matthew 6:9,10 and Revelation 21:2-4

I remember Tom from Bowie Jr High. We were in the band together and he was somewhat shy and a loner until you got to know him. In later years I found him on Facebook and enjoyed his words of wisdom, so inspirational. The video shows what a full, gracious life he had....always giving so much to others. Condolences to the family, this world is better due to him. THANKS Tom for being a part of it.
