John 16:33 Jesus said "I have told you these things, so that you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! For I have OVERCOME the world!" Knowing that God has kept His promise & granted Tommy entrance to his final reward, his race being run, may the peace that passes understanding be given to you, Lisa, and to all of the Anglea children, Tom's brothers, his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Anglea, his "in loves" and to all our Bryan College mates, and to the WCS folks who will be missing him.. till 'the roll is called up yonder' and we "meet on that beautiful shore"... God Bless You All.
