I believe that we all have a purpose in life and when it is completed, God calls us home. So sorry your father is no longer here to enjoy you and your family and soon to be the newest memeber, your child. May he rest in peace.

We would like to send our sincerest condolences out to Thomas’s family and friends. Thomas, we only met two or three times, but you were a very nice man to us and you made one amazing daughter! I am lucky to call her one of my closest friends and I know you will look down on her and your grandchildren with love and admiration. We will always remember ghost hunting with you in Gettysburg. What a fun night that was! May you Rest In Peace.
Brock & Shannon Darlington
