I am so sorry for the loss of Tom. He was a very good person. I will never forget when he would call Trevor to tell him he had turtles for him. The times I stopped & talked to you all, he would talk about everything. He will be missed! We love ya'll! Stephanie & Trevor

I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I have wonderful memories of walking up and down Big Paddy Creek and seeing that lush garden with Barbara and Tom working hard to make it beautiful. There are many steadfast things from my childhood and the Holderby's as neighbors is one of them. May you all find comfort in the many memories you shared.
With Deepest Sympathy

Dear Aunt Barbara, Tammy, and Terri,
My brother, and I, join with so many others who knew Uncle Tom in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a very long and productive life.
The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that his indeed was a life well-lived.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him. Our prayers for your peace, comfort, and healing in Jesus' Name.
Love, Tom E. and Vicki (Deb's kids)
Joy Hudson
