We sure are going to miss Tom! What an inspiration he was to our family. He was always witnessing to everyone he met. I can picture him in Gloryland eating the fruit from the tree that grows the 12 different fruits. He said his curiosity about Heaven was huge - and I suppose now he's amazed that he is finally there!!! Can you imagine how glorious it will be when we are all together in Heaven!

Dear Norma,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. As a believer in our Lord you never say "good bye" we just say "we'll see you later".
