Condolences I only met him a few times enjoy every moment
Sorry for your loss.sincere condolences.
Sweet Tom. We all have loved him and will continue to love him so much. He and his grandparents are having a wonderful time now that they’re back together I’m sure.
I am very sorry for your. My prayers are with all.
Tom had the biggest heart and loved his family fiercely. I remember his laughter and big grins. Tom would always check in with me to make sure my husband was “treating his favorite cousin right”. And then he proceeded to lecture Josh about how he “better be treating his sweetheart right or else”. Family gatherings won’t feel the same without Tom but I know he is watching over us with a grin on his face and drinking Dr Pepper.
Rest in peace Tom. Until we meet again.
Tom has an awesome spirit, and I was very blessed to have known him. I was always inspired by his Testimony each Fast Sunday! He graduated with my oldest Son Richard Felt from River Falls High School in 1998, and he was a wonderful person. To know him is to know love. He was very loved by so many though out his life. Sending love and hugs to the whole family.
Very sorry for your loss, sincere condolences to his family & friends.
Our love to you all. Sincere condolences.
