I am terribly shocked. I leave a flower for Tom because he was always glowing bright like a fresh bloomed flower. Marlene, Bill and Cindy, it's been along time but you guys have always been in my heart. I will forever love you and never forget all the wonderful times we had. I can honestly say they were some of the best memories I have today. Tom was one of the best men I have ever known. He was a true blessing to you all and those around him. He loved his family. Never gave up. Always worked hard and did what he could to help others. I am so sorry for the pain you are enduring at the moment. God is good, he has taken Tom to place so grand that we Christians can only imagine how wonderful. All of you were always there for me (I will never forget that) and I'd like to be there for you. I will always LOVE you with all heart. Tom is Resting in Peace in Glory Land. Although you will miss him just know he's in God's house where we will see him again.  I'm not sure it's appropriate to provide my phone number, but I have no idea how to contact you. I would love to visit and hold you in my arms as you did me many time.  Brenda Bullock (919-402-7291).
