Thanks for all the phone calls checking up on me after Sherman passed. We even talked the day before you passed, and even then you were concerned for others. Thanks for all the history you shared when we went to your home in Alabama. I found the same species of rose that was growing in the area of 0 your coal mining home. I will plant 3 roses in the spring to always remember you, Jeff, and Sherman. Thanks for being a great brother in law.

Thoughts and prayers with you as you go through this difficult time. I came across this poem today. God keep you and comfort you. “I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday and days before that too, I think of you in silence, I often speak your name, all I have are memories and your picture in a frame, your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part, God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.” – Author Unknown

Tracey and family—it has been several years since I’d last seen Tom, but in his retirement—he shined shoes at the shop of my barber. He always had a smile on his face and engaged in conversations with his great laugh. I hope I shared this info when you and I worked at State Farm. Our deepest sympathies to you in the loss of your father, and may the good memories help sustain you during this difficult time.

Pearl and family, you have my deepest sympathy on your loss of Tom. I enjoyed seeing him at the barber shop and country club, and enjoyed his stories about his family, fishing, and food festivals. Sincerely, Dean Sitzmann
