Tom has been a wonderful father to his son, Tommy. Long distance and a dreadful disease did not prevent Tom from being a strong, positive influence on his son. As an amateur cartoonist, he sent his cartoons to help Tommy understand the consequences of his actions at various stages of his life.
As a husband, Tom was the best until the disease got the better of him. My immaturity and circumstances beyond our control prevented our marriage from being fulfilled throughout the end of time. Nevertheless, Tom has always been a loving friend to me and I look forward to seeing him happy, healthy and pain free in the afterlife.
Despite the debilitating, painful brain tumor, Tom’s compassion drove him to help others suffering with similar pain by writing articles that were printed by local newspapers.
A faithful Christian, Tom endured his trials with a marvelous sense of humor. Just a few weeks ago, when I was on the verge of dying from pancreatic cancer’s neuro-endocrine tumors, Tom encouraged me to hang in there and trust that God would see me through… and so HE has seen us all through the best and the worst of times. Tom reminded me to say, “FATHER, I am trusting.�
Thank God for Tom’s deliverance from the Indian Rampage in his head and for bringing him into your heavenly Grace. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of knowing Thomas Patrick Caffrey and bearing his son and giving him some joy during his stay on this Earth.
