Papa~
Thank You for everything you've ever done for me. You took over the role of grandfather for me when mine passed away. I always looked up to you, and looked at you as if you were my grandfather. You were an amazing man an amazing Chief. Anyone I have talked to has the utmost respect for you and that's how it should be. You raised a great family and had many grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. I am going to miss the days of staying at your house, swimming in the pool, running up just to see you & nana. I am going to miss you so much Papa, I promise you we'll all take care of Nana! We will all carry a part of you on in our lives, you showed us all so much in life, so much that we will never forget. Patrol the roads of Heaven Papa and watch over us all!! We know you're here, and tell Nanny & Grampy I Love them! It's going to be hard to move on without you here, but I'll be moving on knowing I'll see you again some day.

If tears could build a walkway,
And Memories a Lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven,
And bring you home again!!

I Love You & Miss You Lot's Papa

"Ohhh Myyy Papaaa"

Love Always,
Nikki
XOXO

Ray, Tom was a good Chief, a good and helpful person and always down to earth. That's how he will be remembered by us. One day when you least expect it (a few months from now) you will find peace in your heart.
Your Friends,

Tom,
During a mans life he asks himself many questions, Have I made the right decsions? Will I be remembered for the things ive always wanted to be remebered for? Have I done everything to the best of my ability?
To say you gave a 110% in your life would be an understatement, and the wonderful family you have created is a medal of your success.
You have made an imprint in everyones heart that will not be forgotten!
May your journey be a peacefull one, and may you have happiness for eternity.

Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so good
No one could be, so gentle and so lovable
Oh, my pa-pa, he always understood.

Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he'd change my tears to laughter

Oh, my pa-pa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown so funny in his way
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today
