Tom and Ellen... here I'm tellin'
Of a love, a relationship
Between the two, joined at the hips..
Each devoted to one another
Obvious to all, this father and mother
Sharing their love, extending so
That folks declare: "I get a real glow
When I enter the threshold
Of their lovely home
Hospitality, graciousness
'Neath their 'Lorenzo Dome'
They worked together in so many ways
Garden, House, in the kitchen
More adulation and praise
What couldn't 'St. Yellin do I've asked myself
I've yet to discover what might be there on the shelf
Tom, too, many talents, he wore numerous hats
She could hit the high notes, Well, Tom, he the flats
You poured out your love and your life for your man
And now he awaits you according to Plan
You'll miss Tom so much, we all will, too
Our hearts , 'Yellin' dear, they go out to you
Your faith ever fervent, your total trust . too
A much better place, my dear friend, awaits you.
"And if I go while you're still here, know that I still live on
behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me but you must have faith.
I await the time when we can soar together again,
both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to the fullest
And when you need me, just whisper my name
in your heart ...I will be there."
He was a great family man who cared deeply about his kids.
May your family find comfort in each other as you come together to celebrate his life.
