Sorry I've been absent from this thread.. I ain't been in all that great a frame of mind since yesterday.

I'm right there with you.

[Morgana]

Eternal rest, grant unto Tom O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him/her. May Tom rest in peace. Amen. May Tom's soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

I am so sorry to read of Tom’s passing, and I feel so badly for you. It seems surreal. I recall happier times at some of the shoots and dinners at your house. I will pray for you.

[Lazamataz]

Much love, brother. Call if you need me.

[kalee]

I am so very sorry. Prayers for you and your family.

Damn! Eaker was a good dude. RIP FRiend.

[Responsibility2nd]

My prayers are with you and all of Tom’s friends and family.

God Bless.

Condolences to you as well ‘gunner. I know you and Tom were close. Like losing a brother, I would imagine.

[buffyt]

God be with your family Eaker. Heaven is welcoming you in tonight.

The voice message which you couldn’t understand is mine - can’t talk and cry at the same time.

Sending much, much love across the miles which separate us.

Eaker couldn’t have had a better friend than you, humble.

[TheMom]

I understood it perfectly Sweetie. Sorry not to have answered but I have been ignoring most all phone calls, I’m just not up to taking them right now.

You know I love you!

[Darksheare]

See you when I head in “that” direction Eaker.
I’ll bring coffee and deer, some assembly required.

[Vigilantcitizen]

Just saw this today.
Words can’t come close, but y’all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Never met Eaker. Was his fb friend though, and he was one of the first freepers I got to know.
May y’all find peace. May he rest in peace.

[RebelTex]

Just found out about Eaker and NYTexan and am greatly saddened. Tom and John will be missed.

RIP Eaker and NYTexan.

Prayers up for both their families and loved ones.

Dear Lord, please accept the souls of these faithful believers and fellow FReepers into your heavenly embrace, comfort their families and loved ones, in Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.

[luvie]

Amen....

It has been a shock to all of us. :(

[luvie]

Our dear friends have been installed in their place of honor on the FReeREpublic Memorial Wall. Long may they be remembered!
