In loving memory of our Uncle Tom.
Growing up as city kids our family visits to the Dickson farming household were always met with the warmest of welcomes, adventure and loving kindness bestowed to us by our Auntie Gloria and our Uncle Tom. The kids from both families mingled together as kids do.
Uncle Tom's uplifting, caring and gentleness shone through and was always present throughout our adult meet ups.
We loved you Uncle Tom.
