To Tommy Jr.,
Your Lowe's family is thinking of you.
Lowe's of Avondale
A Stand Up Guy
We have not known Tommy long, but wish we had met him sooner. In the short time we knew him, we saw his caring nature and natural instinct to do the right thing. Our greatest sympathies go to his family and friends who were lucky enough to have known him far longer than we. Cherish that time. Quiet heroes such as Tommy, who get the job done with ethics and compassion are most treasured.
Sincerely,
David & Betty Vollmer
PS - We wanted so much to come to the services but sicknesses prevented it. Count us among the mourners despite our physical absence.
What a beautiful message
What a beautiful message about my dad. Thank you so much for your words, and seeing him in his true character and form. He was definitely one of my heroes. And always taught us to try to do the right thing as well.
Just heard
Kathy & Greg:
Just got back home again and Linda just saw the facebook piece. we had no idea. I never meant your Dad but just hearing Greg and yourself talk about him, I feel i know what kind of guy he was. We have been praying for him and it was surprising to here he went home already. Last time I talked with Greg he had just started his treatment.. After losing my dad and then both Linda's parents within two weeks I know what its like. The Lord is good and be assured that you will see him again. He is in good hands. If you need anything we are just a call away.
We love you both..
Terry & Linda Flohr
