I’m so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort help you during this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4 & Psalms 83:18). Jesus prayed for God’s Kingdom to come because He knew it would be able to solve all mankind’s problems even death. (Revelation 21:4,5 & Daniel 2:44).

Tracy, Pat (Yogi), Teresa, Tom A., Bob, John, Grandchildren & Family, Uncle Tom & Aunt Minnie were always so much to us, like a 2nd set of Parents. It is so hard to think of them not being here, but I know they are all partying in heaven! I will always remember the last words he directed towards me “Get that ———- sign down from there! “ Love, Donna Jean

Yogi and Tracy, we are so sorry for your loss. There are so many great memories of camping with the Meads. I learned so much from your dad, slice of bologna on hitch to lubricate the ball on hitch always comes to mind when I am hooking up a trailer, his great sense of humor and so much more. Love you all and you are all in our prayers. Phil and Terri Thelen

Tracy and Pat, we will miss Uncle Tom. He was a gentle giant and gave the biggest bear hugs when needed. I too remember camping when dad would have one of the boys pour alcohol on his hands after emptying the septic at the station. Uncle Tom would say “Mr Clean” are we ready yet? He could pack you all up in 5 min and took 2 hrs at best. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
