Cathy, I am so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. He was someone who could always brighten your day. You two together were a true force of nature. My deepest sympathy.
To all of Dave’s family, I have known the family Mildred, Joe, Bub, Janie & Dave for as long as I can remember, Janie & I were very best friends all through school, & even “car accidents!” My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Tomlinson family may you all find comfort in knowing Dave is now at home with his Mom & Dad & brother & sister, that must be such a wonderful reunion for all of them to be together again! May God watch over all of you & give you his comfort & strength to carry on till that wonderful reunion with Dave in Gods house. God Bless
Cathy, I am so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. I knew you were soulmates the first time I saw you with him at the good old North American days. I am so glad you both had the time together that you did and am sure your made him laugh as you made me laugh and know that we each shared the family values that are so important in our lives. My heart is with you and know you will be strong as you always have been. We will miss him but I am sure, not as much as you will. Live each day in his memory and know that he loved you with all his heart. You will never walk alone as you will always have family, friends and the memories of your loved one. I so miss you and our talks and know you will miss him and your talks with him. Be strong and am so glad you were blessed to have him in your life. My sympathies are with you. Memories are what make us whole. My best to you and may God give you strength to carry on. Truly Heartfelt for you, Rita
