Tom was a great man. Prayers said for the family.

 

He was deeply rooted in his faith, so we know where he is today!! Those of us left here will mourn his loss, but celebrate his life and know that there was celebration in heaven at his homecoming.

 

 

Tom was a GREAT Gentleman...He was family (mother-in-laws brother)...he was a lawyer that would often take cases knowing he would never get a dime for his services...he would have given you the shirt off his back...he was a true family man very proud of his family...what is said above sums him up...he fought a hard and long battle with his disease...May Tom Sanders Rest in Peace!

 

Be Safe!
