Tom had a special connection with each and every one of his family members and friends. His Anne was the light in his eyes. He loved Susie and she loved him. Alan and Conner both had a special place in Tom's heart. He was Jan's beloved forever. His brother Chris Yeder's love connected him to their mother and Gran always. Kathy was always there for Tom at any time. Tom was always blessed to have his son, Thad, and Rollie in his life. His grands and great-grands were forever in his heart. His friends knew his love.
