Mrs. Slowinski & Family, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I know it is not easy to go through something like this. I am sure he is shining down on all of you day after day and will forever live on in your hearts. God Bless.

Dear Slowinski Family,
I just learned of your loss as I know it occurred many months ago. I pray that God is continually with your family. My name is Karen Tanner Byrd. Thomas' parents were Anna Pasieta and Anton Slowinski. Anna was the sister of my great grandmother, Mary Marie Pasieta. I am largely into family history research, thus the reason I found this post.

Once again, my prayers are directed towards you and your family. [email protected]

Gail & Girls,

I am so sorry that I couldn't be there today to be with you guys. I have known you for the majority of my life and even though Gail says "its okay" (as she normally does) I still feel horrible that I couldn't be there today. Tom was an awesome father and husband. He always put Gail in a safety bubble and never let anything happen to her. I know that she is strong and will get through this. I might be 4,000 miles away but I have all four of you in my heart and prayers every day. I will find a way to come down there soon and see you. I love you guys very much and am thankful for everyday that I had with Tom. It meant so much to me to be able to spend time with him while I was home last time. If you ever need someone to talk to I will be here for all of you.

Tom will be remembered by his loving family and by many friends, all of whom can speak of his good nature, sense of humor, and dedication to the "job". He was very proud to have served in the Air Force and the Police , enjoyed riding his Harley and many other things which make life fun. But his absolute joy was his family, wife Gail, daughters Carie,Jamie,and Heather and a home full of love,laughter and pets. This is his legacy that all these wonderful people were made better and stronger by his life with them. God Bless.

Gail & Family;
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Tom was a great guy and I am sure he will be deeply missed by you but remember he is up above watching over you and the girls. God needed an extra angel. Although he is not physically with you now he will always be with you in your heart. God Bless you and the girls

Gail,
Our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. We will always remember Tom as a delightful, compassionate, happy man riding his Harley with you sitting right behind him. Although we didn't take many "rides" together, the ones we did will always be a happy memory. May your family find peace and happiness as you adjust to life without Tom. We also hope that you try to find solace in the fact that he is no longer suffering. God Bless You.
