Dear Ragland Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Tom's passing. Though I only had the privilege of knowing him for the past 18 years, it was clear from the very beginning that he was a truly gentle and kind soul. His warmth, quiet strength, and thoughtful presence left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Reaching 100 years is a remarkable milestone, and Tom filled those years with grace, love, and dignity. He was a devoted husband to my grandmother, Conrod, and a steady light in our family.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Tom’s legacy of kindness and gentleness will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
With deepest sympathy,
Skot Harness
