Susan, I am sure you are the only that knows who this is. This has to be very difficult for all of you and you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Tom and I worked together for quite a few years and this is big loss for a good friend.
Ryan & Brent,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your father obviously loved you both very much, and he will be missed greatly. You’ll be able to look back and remember all the great things about him, and all the memories you made. Be proud of what you have done for him, I’m sure it gave him great peace knowing that his sons cared so much. Take care, All my love. Shelley
Sometimes in life people that we love so much are taken from us, sometimes without reason or warning, but I truly believe that it’s all for a purpose. Know that just because your father isn’t here to talk you trough difficult times or give his advice on where you should hunt this fall, that he is with you…Always. Let your children learn to love their grandpa the way you loved him, through your stories and fond memories. They will always know him as if he were here. Rest peacefully knowing that you did all that you could to make the rest of his time here on earth some of the best days of his life.
Denise, Brent & little Hannah-
I truly believe that this is not a loss but that all the wonderful people in heaven just gained another wonderful person. I know that the loss of a father or even just a special person in your life can be one of great confusion but you have such a strong group of family and friends and you will not only make it through this but you will make it through with a smile from all the great memories you get to hold onto forever. Those can never be taken from you. And just think, Hannah will have so many wonderful bedtime stories…
Love you all,
Maggie
What can be said about a Father-in-law who meant so much. I will forever hold on to our many conversations and cherish each one of the memories made. Knowing You knew me and that I understood you brings me great comfort. I promised you that Hannah would always know who you were and how much you meant to us and I will hold true to that promise. You were such a support to me. I miss you so much and I look forward to the day we can all be together again.
Heaven is truly one man richer
All my love, Denise
To my Brother in-Law to be..
Ryan and family, i would like to tell you how depestly sorry i am about your loss of your father. i met Tom for the first time at our 1st annual summer party. i will never forget the big smile he had and his warm hearted welcome he gave me. i was truly pleasured to meet him. and i would like you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
i love you!!!
Gods Peace be with you at this difficult time.
I know our time here is sometimes all too short, but I also know that Tom felt his time was well spent. I know that his profound and enduring love for his sons made life even more enjoyable. I know how proud he was of them. I thank God for the opportunity to say all the things that I might have left out before, to cement a strong relationship with my father-in-law, and to say good-bye. Tom will always be greatly missed, and can rest peacefully knowing that his family and friends were by his side. I’m sure he’s saving seats for us all.
Dear Brent & Ryan,
What can I say to you at this difficult time. You both mean more to me than life itself and I am so sorry you had to lose your father at such a young age. You are the “sunshine of my life” and I will allways be here for you. I love you with all my heart and I loved your Dad too! God bless our family in this time of sorrow.
I pray you find peace and comfort. Know he will be near you each time you think of him, or go hunting or fishing. His love of the out-doors and the time he spent with you in nature will continue to bring you together in a way only your spirits understand.
We love and pray for you all.
Your family is in my prayers. See you all soon.
Eric
We were good friends in high School. I still think of you and wish I could see you one more time. You deserved more on this planet.
