My Cousin Tom
Our families met each summer at a farmstead where our grandparents lived. We could not wait until Aug to go to Ness to see our cousins. Tom was one of my favorites. He was funny, witty, warm, and kind. I will miss his smile so much, and sweet, sincere hug. No matter how much time had passed, we were right back on the same page where we left off. I will miss you, and pray that God holds you in peace and love!

For Will Tom was always his favorite. loved him very much. For Heather the honor of meeting such a gentle soul and loving man that meant so much to my family was a true gift and his great nephew only new him a short time but would have loved him as well. A true hearted soul now gone but never forgotten
