I have so many memories of Uncle Tom, and like so many others have shared, they’re filled with his humor, his kindness, and the way he made people feel seen. Watching his service, I could feel the love and respect in every story that was told about him. It was a beautiful tribute. The music especially moved me... the song was heartfelt, and the harp was absolutely stunning.
This photo of Uncle Tom and Aunt Karen was taken on May 11, 2018. They surprised me by showing up at a small boutique where my father‑in‑law was selling his handmade birdhouses. Their support that day meant a lot to me.
Thank you, Uncle Tom, for the laughter, the warmth, and the memories. You will be deeply missed. My love goes out to you, Aunt Karen, and to your children. You raised a beautiful family. 💚💚💚
