I offer my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. I hope that you will find God is a source of true strength and is willing to help us cope when we are faced with the sorrow of losing our loved ones...
(Psalms 46:1)

Arlene,Tom,Kathy, Lori and Ronny,
I want to first tell you that I'm sorry for your loss. It's been a gift having Adam in our family for the last thirty five years that Eileen has been married to Tom. After my father passed away Adam took on the role as surrogate grandpa to my children. I'll alway be grateful to him for that. We all loved him very much. I think heaven just became a little more interesting this week.
