RIP Tom Prather

Some of you have met Tom and some of you havn't. For those who knew him you knew him to be a wonderful man, a honest, trustworthy and forgiving man. This man helped raise me from the time I was 4. I consider myself very lucky to have had two wonderful dad's. Tom loved my sister and I like we were his children. He loved my children and her children. My children loved Tom and looked foward to seeing him. He was papa Tom.

Unfourtanitly He was taken from us too early. He battled cancer for many years and did well until it won in the end. He was brave every step of the way. He out lived what dr's said he would. I know i am very proud of him and he will remain in my heart forever. Here is a poem that he was layed to rest with.

God Saw you

God saw you were getting tired

And your cure was not meant to be.

So he put his arms around you

And whispered " Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you

and saw you pass away,

and though we love you dearly,

we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands were put to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the best.

How perfect is this for Tom? We will always love him.
