So sorry for your loss, Lucy, and for Tom's family. Prayers are sent to you for the Lord's blessing of peace at this time of transition.

With deepest sympathy and all of our love and support Lucy we are thinking of you always. Tom was a big, loving, teddy bear who would do anything for anyone. The world has lost a wonderful, loving soul and heaven has gained a magnificent Angel. As God tells us it is never good bye but rather until we meet again. I love you Lucy.
