We all are sorry for your loss. Your family and tom touched our hearts for the time we had him. Sometimes it's hard even for the nurse to keep it together for the family and not cry. This was definitely one of those times.

I will always remember him smiling and calling me the ugly Tommy Popp.

By Thy resurrection from the dead, O Christ, death no longer hath dominion over those who die in holiness. So, we beseech Thee, give rest to Thy servants in Thy sanctuary and in Abraham's bosom. Grant it to those, who from Adam until now have adored Thee with purity, to our fathers and brothers, to our kinsmen and friends, to all men who have lived by faith and passed on their road to Thee, by a thousand ways, and in all conditions, and make them worthy of the heavenly kingdom.

Life can never stay the same, no matter how we try. Our hands can never stop the clock of life from ticking by. But love remains unchanged in the care of sorrowful hearts, For as the love of this life surrenders, the love of memory starts."

We will miss him dearly, but remember him always.
