Such and honor being Tom's neighbor the last 5 years. He was so sweet to our family, and we thoroughly enjoyed our morning chats through the fence. He would check on his cows while we cared for our alpacas, and we'd always catch up. He was the sweetest neighbor, and we know he is greatly missed by all. Sending our love and prayers to all the family.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
