So sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family and friends
Grace, Justin, Jessica and families: Tom and Grace are wonderful Christians and friends. We attended Nestorville UM Church together a “few” years ago.
”……..until we meet again, Tom”.
To one of the finest men I've ever known. Uncle Tom, the love and kindness you shared with everyone you knew, was an amazing gift that few can ever understand.
The way you loved and believed in Aunt Grace, Jessica, and Dusty was unparalleled.
You will be missed…. But, never forgotten. And certainly loved for eternity….
Prayers and Love….
Nancy, Charles, and Freddie
In memory of Charles Thomas Moran, Charles Ryan and Dale Davis lit a candle
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family. I have worked with Jessicca and feel as if I know her family. She was so in love with her father and loved sharing family stories.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection to a paradise earth, where sickness and death will be no more. “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28,29) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts and your wonderful memories will give you some relief during this difficult time.
