I am so sorry for your loss. I have some fond memories of childhood visits with the Kren family.
Uncle Tom will be misses
Tom was the luckiest poker player I ever knew.
p.s. Judy and I will miss him. he was a great friend
It was always fun to go to the Kren’s house. Uncle Tom seemed so sophisticated to me. Our house was crowded and loud with a big family in a small space, but at Uncle Tom and Aunt Lee’s house it felt very fancy and spacious. I never heard Uncle Tom raise his voice and he always seemed calm and proper. He will be missed by all his family. I’m sure he is now resting easy in the arms of the angels.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
Querida Karen,
Mi mas sincero pesame para ti y para toda tu familia. Que Dios reciba con los brazos abiertos a tu padre y les siga dando esa fe tan fuerte para continuar con la mision que Dios les tiene a todos aqui en la tierra. Un abrazo fuerte.
Karen and family,
My condolences to you and your family!
