My sympathy and prayers are with all Tom's family. I mostly remember Tom's laugh and see my husband Bud Brennock and Tom laughing together in heaven as they often did here and probably picking up stray dogs. God Bless You. Margo Brennock

Papa Tom,
We miss your smiling face already! We find comfort in knowing you're at peace and in good Hands.
You held a special place in Brandon's heart and he'll miss spending time with you. Last night he said, "Papa Tom is at the park riding the swings and going on the slide." I said "You're absolutely right!"
We love you! XOXO - Kelly, Brian and Brandon.
