We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Mount Vernon
In loving memory of Uncle Tom
Remember Tom with great affection as a true friend. Thoughts with all his family and friends.
Our sincere condolences to the family of Tom. Tom touched so many lives as a husband, father and coach, he will be deeply missed by many and thought of often. May your many wonderful memories of his life give you comfort. Something we have personally found to be of great comfort are the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28 “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus Christ) voice and come out “. May God Jehovah give strength and his love to each of you always.

With deepest sympathy, you and the girls are in our thoughts.
Very sorry for your loss. Your family are in my prayers.
Tom was smart, strong, reliable, responsible, resilient, and brave. He was the bravest person I knew. He was always there for his own family – but also for me, Ken, and Mom. I always knew that I could count on him and that he would always be there if I needed him. Even though he is not here with us anymore, he will forever live on in my heart. I will miss him, Nancy
Rachel and family, may cherished memories bring comfort and strength during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart is heavy with the news of Tom’s passing. He was a good friend. May god bless his memory and entire family.
My love to you Aunt Lisa, Rachel, and Beth. I’ll miss Uncle Tom very much. Love, hugs, and many good memories.
