Gary S. Kennedy sent Always Remembered Flower Wreath for Tom Rawls - August 03, 2023

FROM: Gary & Joyce Kennedy in El Paso TX Rest N Peace Uncle Tom Rawls, you always had words of wisdom for me and I cherished those talks

Send flowers for Tom Rawls

To the Rawls family, I met Mr. Rawls down on Main street in Newton, when He and his friend were trying to unload a casket to bring into the funeral home, I asked him if he needed some help and he looked at me and asked if he knew me. I said no then I introduced myself to him, from that point on every time he had to bring a casket in I would appear and help him. When we would visit he would talk about Funerals and how funeral service has changed. I will always remember him, and his friendship that he extended to me and my family. May he now rest in peace and in the presence of the Lord and savior Christ Jesus, may he find enteral glory Amen. With deepest condolences, Robert W. Rautio and Family, Retired Funeral Director and Embalmer from Connecticut.

I am sorry to hear about Tom's passing. He was a special person and I will miss him. Cynthia Evans
