Tom I love you so much! Im so sorry, I wish I was there for you.
I don’t even know where to begin. My heart hurts knowing you’re gone.
I’ll never forget all the little things you did for me. Taking me to my trailer, going to the movies all the time, and always being there for me, day after day. You were someone I could count on, someone who showed up for me, and someone who was part of my everyday life.
It wasn’t just the big things that mattered. It was all those little moments, the laughs, the memories, the time we spent together, and knowing you were always there.
You may have been my stepdad, but you were so much more than that. You were family, and you will always have a special place in my heart.
Thank you for everything. Thank you for being there for me. I wish we had more time.
I’ll miss you more than words can ever explain. Rest peacefully. Until we meet again. ❤️🕊️
Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family and loved ones of Tom. He will always be remembered.
♥️🙏

My condolences to all of Tom’s family and friends. I haven’t seen Uncle Tom in a few years but carry fond memories as a child visiting him and Aunt Pat. From what I remember, he was a big, bright personality who loved to share stories and give advice.
I hope your memories of Tom carry you through your grief. The pain of losing a loved one is proof of the love you shared.
Rest in the sweetest peace Uncle Tom. Say hi to my dad & Granny June for me. XO
My sincere condolences to all the family.
Had great time at Tommy’s he made me laugh so much🤣😢
Mandy and family, sorry to hear of your dad’s passing, please accept my heartfelt condolences and may your memories comfort you in the coming days.
