Condolences for the family of “Tom Lyle”
Tom was one of the most talented guys in our high school. Only eclipsed by his fun loving and kind nature. My thoughts and prayers go out to you as you deal with his passing
One of my brother’s from Grace so loved by many. Comfort and peace to the family in Jesus name.
Sue, we can’t believe it. May the Lord keep you strong. RIP Tom. You were loved.
A very special person. So sorry, Sue.
So sorry for your loss. You will be in our prayers ????
Tom was a great person both in HS and after. I was a year behind Tom but knew him well through our time in Sigma Hi-Y. He will be missed.
Sue, I graduated high school with Tom. I remember him as the kind person he always was, but only learned of his artistic gifts when we became Facebook friends. I loved seeing his kind and humorous comments on each of my posts and his devoted tributes to you. My sincere condolences to you and the family. May he Rest In Peace and his memory be eternal.
Sue we are so saddened to hear about Tom’s passing. He was such a great person and friend. I cherish the times and conversations we had together in Lowery Hills and will never forget them. I have been reading online about the lives he touched and the legacy he has left and have been so moved by it. May God be with you and comfort you. If we can do anything at all please let us know. Please know we are thinking of you and keeping you and your family in our prayers. Love Steve, Davida, and Victoria Vankovich.
