To Wilma & family of Tom, I, Ruth, met Tom & Marie years ago through my mother, Anne. They met at a Hilstad meeting. I remember going to their home on Valleyview Dr. to pick up vitamins and sometimes vegetables from their garden. Marie & I had the same interest in health, family, spiritual matters and had many occasions to share. When Marie passed away, Tom & I got to know each other as he agreed to order the vitamins for us. If I was not able to pick them up, he generously dropped them off to my work. We spent time talking on the same topics. I found Tom to be a real genuine person, a gentleman, ready to help when needed. I remember when Tom & Wilma got married. My husband, Sam, & I had the privilege of attending. Tom & Wilma joined the CHIP, a community health program I volunteered with. Tom was interested in the truth of God's word & we spent time sharing on many topics in the Bible. I was always glad to see him at Silver Heights church. He enjoyed the many programs there. We are saddened by Tom's passing but his hope is sure in Christ. We look forward to meeting again! - Posted by: Ruth & Sam Best, mother Anne Watson (Friends) on: Sep 29, 2020
