This is Tom and Tommy Jr. I am sure you
all know them. Tom was at the shop
everyday and was always there to help
out. He passed away in November of 2004!
He was such a wonderful person and
really brought a lot of excitement and joy
to everyone 's life. Tom taught me a lot
about life. He taught me to always find the
good in people even though its hard
sometimes! He taught me to be a better
person, mother and friend! He touched my
life in so many ways, I will always be great
full and I will always miss him. As I am sure
everyone who knew him whether it was
on a personal level or just through the
shop. Tom is the kind of person you just
CAN NOT forget. I will always remember
his smile and his great since of humor. I
work hard everyday to be half the parent
to my children as he was to his. He was
always so proud of his 3 children, and
they all admired him! With our ever
changing world it is so hard to be able to
have the respect and admiration of your
children, but he had it, and he taught me
how to get it! And for that I am blessed.
Tom You will always have a place in my
heart and you will always be remembered!
I miss you terribly, but I know you are in a
better place now, and you are looking
down on us from Heaven!!
