So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 "(3) With that I heard
a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God
is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they
will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
(4 ) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and
death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry
nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Quest. 37. What benefits do believers receive from Christ at death?
Ans. 37. The souls of believers are at their death made perfect in holiness, and do immediately pass into glory; and their bodies, being still united to Christ, do rest in their graves till the resurrection.
Westminster Shorter Catechism.

May you all know and feel the loving Arms of our Faithful and Mighty LORD wrapped firmly about you during this time.

His family always made him proud,always grinning and telling stories about you.
Rest in peace Tom and we will meet again.
