To Donna and the family of Mr. Nassief, I know that this is a very difficult time for you. We as humans were never meant to experience the pain of losing a loved one to death. God’s purpose for us is that we live forever on the earth in perfect health and perfect conditions. The Bible mentions a time when the ones who have passed away will rise again in John 5:28,29. Take comfort in knowing that you will see Thomas again. Please accept my condolences.
Dear Donna and family, Sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. Every time I go by your old store I have fond memories of choosing our furnishings for our new house. It was lots of fun! Sincerely, Jeff and Shirley Petrunger
Dear Aunt Donna and Kids, We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Tom’s passing. My memory’s of growing up with our big family get togethers’ are rich in my mind. I really miss you all, and those wonderful family celebrations. But rest assured, Uncle Tom is in Heaven with my Mom and all our beloved relatives, having a huge party and are joyous in being together again. All of our love and thoughts to your family. “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” John 11:25,26

Our prayers are with Tom’s family at this most difficult time. Tom was a great man and did a lot for this area. He was a great help to a young reporter covering the County Commissioners for The Star-Beacon back in the early ’70s.
Dear Donna and family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. There are many fond memories from babysitting the “kids” to helping out with a little bookkeeping at the store. Tom will be forever missed and never forgotten.
