Tom passed away this morning at 10:20. My mom and my friend Carla were in Tom's room when we arrived. Katie and I got lost on the way to the hospice which put us about 45 minutes later than we had planned on arriving. We walked in, hugged him, kissed him, talked to him and made sure he knew how much we loved him....he passed away five minutes later. He waited for us to arrive.
God, I miss him.

Lisa,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel like I have gotten to know you and Tom through Katie, and I have followed your story since she was in third grade. So many people grieve with the two of you, and we are praying for you and your family. All my love,

I just found out about this yesterday from Facebook. I went to elementary school with Tom, and had completely lost track of him for the past 30 years or so.
He was a great friend to me, and I grieve with you on his loss. I am glad to know he touched so many lives though.
Your family are in my prayers.
Lisa, we are so sorry. Thank you for being so strong for Tom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Katie.

We'll miss him, very much.

There will never be another one like him. They broke the mold after they made him. He was without a doubt one of the coolest people I will ever have the pleasure of knowing.
I love you Tom and while I'm not happy to see you go, knowing that you don't have to suffer any more helps to ease my loss. I'm going to miss you buddy!

My heart goes out to you Lisa. Tom was a wonderful guy who was a positive presence for me when I was younger. He will be missed by many. The world will be a poorer place in his absence.

Lisa & Katie,
We send our sincere condolences to you & your family. Just know that Tom is in a much better place not suffering anymore. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I pray and trust that God will give you strength and courage to be strong for Katie and know that God will not give you more than you can bear!
We love you and don't hesitate to reach out so we can help you in any way you need.

Tom was such an incredible person, and the earth is better to have had the short time with him. He touched so many people. I am simply stunned by this news. Lisa and Katie, you are such brave and strong souls, our thoughts are with you.

I'm sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Tom around 6 years ago while working at IHG. He was one of the easiest guys to get along with, we hit it off right away. Genuine - is probably the best word to sum up Tom's personality.
Although we only crossed paths for a short period of time, I really enjoyed meeting and getting to know Tom. My prayers are with you.
