I never met Mr. Presley, however, I am familiar with the results of his life as a husband and father to his daughters. He was a fine southern gentleman. My sympathy to the family.
WE HAVE BEEN MISSING TOM AND GEORGIA AT K EENAGERS. THEY WERE ALWAYS SO FAITHFUL TO SUNDAY SCHOOL.,CHURCH, AND KEENAGERS. THE FAMILY WILL BE IN OUR PRAYERS.
I have many good memories of Tom during his Canteen years. I was the Wonder bread man, and each morning I would see him, he was always so cheerful and friendly with a good word. He truly brightened my days. Heaven is getting a really good man in Tom. Prayers for the family.
Peggy, Pam and families - I have such fond memories of both your parents. As a child I always thought Mr. Tom was so handsome and tall, and so kind and funny. I am quite sure that he and J.T. have found each other up in Heaven by now and are talking about their Razorback and Cowboys!
I know how hard this time is for you - just lean on God and each other and hang on to our Hope. Love you.
Dear Pam and Peggy and family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We had such a good visit with your folks when we were out in 2015. We loved them and we love all of you.
Cousin Gordon and aunt Mary
Pam, Peggy and families, you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Ron and Jo Anne
RIP Uncle Tom. Thoughts and prayers with Aunt Georgia and Pam and Peggy.
I remember the first time i saw a giraffe at the zoo, i said it was almost as tall as Uncle Eldon.
What a wonderful loving person who is going to be missed by all that knew him. Thoughts and prayers with Pam and Peggy and all the family.
