SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS JUDY MY PRAYS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. HE WAS A OUTSTANDING CLASS MATE
Judy, Michelle, Jess, Lewis, and all your families…Your husband, dad, grandpa’s memories will live on forever in your sharing of his life, and the Amish community as well. They all loved Tom so much. He brought joy to the faces of little ones with his ability to make them laugh and shower them with kindness. Parents could rely on him to get them where they needed to be. I think they would agree that he was the best driver their community could have. They will miss him deeply. Whenever the children at Jess’ school shared stories about him, he wasn’t Mrs. Miller’s dad, he was “Tom Boehme”! May God be with you all and hold you up till you regain your own strength again. Love and prayers to you all.
You have my deepest sympathy. Your family has another angel. I bet Jenny and Tom are having great family discussions
Tom was a great example for us all. His devotion to family and friends was a cornerstone of his character, and those admirable traits were balanced by his sense of humor, his charismatic smile, and the sparkle in his eyes. When one thinks of Tom, the expression “great guy” inevitably comes to mind. Tom was respected and admired by those who knew him and though he will be missed, his memory will be cherished always in the hearts of those who loved him. My love and condolences to Judy and family.
Judy, my thoughts are with you, and your family. Knew Tom since grade school. So glad we all got to talk with him at our 50th class reunion
Judy and family: Sending prayers to all of you for you sorrow . Tom was a great guy and will be missed. Gather all the hugs for your strength and
rely on the love of family and friends to help you move through this difficult time. God Bless Your Family.
