Kelly. Thanks for the news on Tom. He certainly was a wonderful person in your life and will surely be missed by you and our family. He will always be in our prayers - however, I think he will probably make it on his own merits.
Love you as always Aunt Bette and Uncle Mike.

Letter from my daughter Kelly (Living in Brazil) to my wife, her step-mom, Kelly McDevitt-Morgan
Dear Kelly,
I wanted to write and let you know how sorry I am for your loss.
Tom was such a special person that no words are adequate. I am sending all of my thoughts and love to everyone at home. Your relationship with Tom has always been such an inspiration to me. Your friendship is proof that strangers are just friends waiting to happen. Tom was better than a friend, though, he was family. He brought joy and laughter to everyone he met, and he became a father to you and a grandpa to Getty and Scott. I really wish that I could be home right now. Please hug Scott for me. I love you so much and am thinking about you often.
Love,
Kelly Jean Morgan
I think the above says what many of us feel. He was like a father in-law to me. I miss his smile, borrowed one-liners, watching sports & Deal Or No Deal, eating out, and many of the simple pleasures in life.
I pray they have Guinness in heaven.
Your friend and more,
Tom Morgan

Tommy,
There aren't words to describe all that you have done for me in the 21 years you've been in my life.
You are at peace now with Donna and the angels in Heaven and I will just have to be patient and see you again later.
I love you so very much and I will never forget you. Thank you so much for everything.
You have always been my Guardian Angel.
Love, Getty

Tom, God is Awesome for sharing you with us. You stepped in and made a difference in many lives. You gave your love and support and were always a riot to be around. The Lord has prepared a wonderful place for you in HIS home now, with Donna waiting. Surely you will be missed... but in time, we shall meet again! Thank you.

Dearest O'Malley Family:
I was related to Tom (by my Aunt Donna) what a wonderful person he was. We will remember all the wonderful times he spent with the Beckow family. All the fond memories of him teasing all of our children and his way of making each person smile. Our deepest sympathy goes to the entire family. He will be missed by everyone.
