Especially by Jehovah God, while I may never know the pain and grief you feel, be assured that God knows exactly how you feel, and he wants to provide you comfort. I found comfort from God’s word the Bible, in John 5:28, 29 it says in part “the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, …to a resurrection of life.” So one day we will be able to see our loved ones again and we will be able live in perfect health on a paradise earth filled with peace and happiness. Never again will we experience the pain caused by our greatest enemy death, and forever we will experience the joy of life.

Thomas. May you find peace and comfort from the good memories you have
of him. Our creator is a God of love who understands your pain and
will give you the strength to cope with your loss. Prayer to God for comfort
along with your fond memories will help you to endure Thomas’ passing.
We can look forward to the time when sickness and death will be no more.
This wonderful promise is stated in the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4.
Another promise is made in John 5:28,29 where it states that those in God’s
memory will be resurrected. I hope these loving promises will provide
hope and comfort for you during this sad time.

He told me that joke 34 years ago in his Latin class. I think he laughed harder than anyone else. He was a joyful and sweet man as I knew him and I feel impoverished by his loss. My condolences to his family.

God’s speed, Dear one.

Thomas and I began our careers at the same time, and for 50 years I enjoyed his company as a fellow scholar & educator but also as a kindly friend. For many decades we celebrated together New Year’s Eve, Independence Day, & Groundhog Day. We also shared parts of some summers in northern Wisconsin, where he amazed me with his erudite bird-watching. He presided over the weekly meetings of the Secret Senecans club with wit, geniality, & gentleness. He has left a vacancy which cannot be filled.
