  6. Dearest Cathy,

    My heart goes out to you as you mourn your beloved, Tom. I want to share with you how God used Tom to plant seeds along my path to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Tom asked me would I listen to a CD(at that time a message from Pastor Brandon) from First Assembly of God, and I did! I can still remember this conversation with Tom like it was yesterday. I am forever grateful……Cathy, you will continue to be in my prayers…….
    With much love and friendship,
    ~Pamela
