Opal, Dianne, Sissy, and Wanda. The circle was broken when daddy passed and I'm so sorry to hear that Tom has passed, I visited Tom once in the hospital and I wish I had gone more. I was truly touched when I heard him talk about God. I do believe he was ready. I know how much you will miss him, but I think he has gone to a better place. I believe it's possible to see him again. Hold on to that hope during this difficult time. I love you all and you are in my prayers.

Dear Opal, Dianne, Stella, Wanda, and all of the grandchildren,

I was saddened to hear the news about your husband, father, and grandpa. I knew Tom since I was a little girl, around 7 years old, and later in life more when his daughter Dianne married my brother LC. He was a very hard-working man and he loved his girls so much and all of his grandchildren. May he rest in peace with our Lord. With my deepest sympathy, Bj Blangsted
