Words I need to share with our Community

[Pe11e 812]

Awful awful news. I'm very sorry to hear that. :(  I wish you all the best Tom, and I hope there is some sort of miracle to keep you alive and healthy in many years to come.

First, and foremost,  may God give you peace.  Also to your family.    

 

Second, how can this community help avsim?   Not just financially but with any other duty or resource?   People can and often do, do amazing things at the time of need and trouble.

 

Take great care.   And if you have not written letters to your family so that they can have your words and thoughts, do it now.    It will help and they will cherish these.

 

God speed and great care,

 

Eric

Tom,

 

I'm deeply sorry to hear that. thanks for your hard work here at avsim. Try to be as many as you can with your family and be strong!

Gosh...my heart hurts. Shocking, numbing news Tom. 

[Caribpilot 56]

Tom, because of you and this wonderful website you create, I was able to find a hobby that has brought much happiness into my life at a time when I needed it the most. I just want to say thanks for your hard work. Appreciation for what you've done is one of the reasons why I decided to give back by writing reviews for Avsim.

 

I know that there isn't much one can say to take away the pain and suffering but I will try my best to do so in a PM since another aspect of my life takes me close to individuals who are going through what you are right now.

i  feel deeply for you. all i can say is, keep on fighting. my heart felt sympathies to your family.

                         best regards, ajay

I'm amazed that in this sad time you find the time to think about AVSIM.

I am not good with words but I just want to say Thanks for AVSIM and all the knowledge and joy that it has given to us. I wish you blue skies and calm winds.

Tom;

 

No words can describe when our lobby loses its leaders, especially those that contribute to our hobby as you have. In time, We all here will face the crossroads which you are now facing in one way or another, you are not alone on this journey..

 

but I want you to know.....Your leadership through Avsim.net have made my world of Flight Sim Aviation a great hobby for me.

 

So I join the ranks of many and salute you today. May these comments and comments of the many in their own little way give you a little peace in the days to come.

 

My prayers to you and your family. Your Courage to share this news with us, will remind us to make that call to our loved ones and say how special they are.

I have no words for this...Thank you Tom for all you´ve done! Without AVSIM, I would never got so much into flightsim as I am now! Thank you for the time I had the opportunity to be part of the staff!

 

Fly well wherever you go ...  and don´t worry about AVSIM, we´ll keep it running!

Tom,

Whatever words I try to muster seem desperately insufficient.

Hurts to hear how serious your description of the cancer -- thank you for letting us know.

Yes, a salute and sincere thanks for the work you have put in at AVSIM and for your support throughout the years for AVSIM's RTWR Race Team.

My family's prayers for you during this unimaginable time - And for wisdom for you and the staff how to proceed, that AVSIM will continue to prosper in the years ahead.
