Dear, family.
I will forever always remember how much love we all have for each other. Especially, Uncle Eddie, he was a truly a real gentleman.  Forever, I will miss him, as he was so much like my dad. Jim Saxon, but they are in heaven together.  
Love you all, 
Kristine Saxon 


Time.. we always think we have enough..
Dad-3 years ago today you joined the angels in heaven and became our forever missed~
They say time heals all wounds, but this wound must be too deep. It still feels like yesterday.. Every year around the beginning of November, I remember it all. Your last days, your last words and  your last Breathe. 
Words could never express how much I truly miss you Dad. I think about you every single day. 
Things haven’t been the same without you here.   I know life wasn’t the same for you, you were in pain, your wings were heavy and it was time to fly and be free of all of that. 
The loss of you in my life hurts deeply but I’m thankful to hold such beautiful memories and the time we had together. I try everyday to be the strongest I can, to be the type of person that would make you happy to say  “There she is, That’s my daughter Michele”  I miss your voice and our conversations so much! 
I pray to God for you every single day and every single night. May God grant eternal peace to your soul to live happily in his divine paradise. 
Keep  sending me sweet signs that you are never too far away. I’ll always need you.
I Love you so much Dad. ✨🦋🙏🏼
Your Daughter,
Michele

My Dad 
My Dad is a Guardian Angel & Saint now . Thomas is a Saint name. Saint Thomas  touch many lives , My Dad also touch many lives too. My dad was a very caring & loving family person . 
he help anyone that needed help not just family also friends & whoever need help too. That is who he was. My Dad taught me that family means believing loving and supporting each other. Thank You dad for showing me what family means. Dad I have so many wonderful memories of you. I am going to cherish the Tv Shows we used to watch together. Sha Na Na , The Gold Rush, Alaskan Bush People. 
I am always going to cherish that special moment we had as Father & Daughter times. I know you are a Guardian Angel now and you will be watching over the whole family even Mom, me (Deanna) 
Dean , Michele , Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren. Thank You Dad for always being there for me. I will always cherish those special moments we had as Father and Daughter time . 
Love always your Daughter Deanna ❤️


To say I loved my dad would be an understatement -  and  to say  I’m going to miss him would be an even greater understatement. Life will never be the same without my Dad. 
I will miss not having Dad on the end of a phone call talking about the weather or how he feels or popping around at a moment’s notice to give assistance in whatever needed to be fixed or helped on.  Holidays will always have a new feeling of loss and missing him. I will miss his voice, his laugh, his stories from the past, his concerns and “ Be carefuls” on the way out the door. I will always treasure the “ I Love you’s” I got before he passed away into God’s arms. 
My father fought a hard battle with cancer, he  will always be my hero for trying to fight it as long as he did.  One of the most beautiful displays I will always treasure is how much my dad loved his family but especially my mom. She was his entire world, he loved her, he worried about her and he looked at her like she was the moon and the stars.   Their love was true and one of a kind. Even though Dad is no longer here with us, he will never be forgotten and his grandchildren and great grandchildren will always be reminded of the extraordinary man he was.My father truly was one of the “irreplaceable ones".
Thank you Dad, 
For all of the soft sweet things you left behind-
In my home, In my head and In my heart ❤️ 
I Love you and I’ll see you on the other end of the stars one day. 

Tom was a really great co-worker. We spent more time back then at work than with our families, but when you worked with Tom at least it was enjoyable.
He would always be the 1st person on the floor every morning and after breaks. He was courteous, kind, and hard working everyday.
Very funny too. He had me fooled for awhile when I 1st started working here at Bausch & Lomb. He told me we received production pay so the faster we worked to more we got paid, 
I used to call him Green bay, not because he was a fan of that football team but because he was usually the Packer on line 1 or line A.   My heart goes out to his beautiful family, I am so sorry for your loss.


Living the Dream

When I think of love,
I think of my Aunt Petie and Uncle Eddy
When I think of true commitment. I think of you two. 
When I wonder how to keep trying? 
I reflect on how you two lived your life. 
When I wonder if I will ever find true love?
I saw it in you two.
When I reflect on family.
I think of you two. 
As, you two proved that there is real love,
Throughout all these years. 
When I look at Clint Eastwood.
I see my Uncle Eddie.
Yet, Uncle Eddie is far more handsome. 
When Easter comes,
I think of all the Easter’s at your home.
When I try to make deviled eggs. 
I remember yours Aunt Petie.
They were the best. 
Always perfect. 
I think of real Greek salads. 
You always carried on the true Greek traditions. 
All the perfect touches. 
Even though I am far away.
My memories of you two ,
Never fade away. 
I know you will forever miss your soulmate, Uncle Eddy.
But, I can promise you he is now in heaven.  
Your guardian angle forever and always.
As you two will always be together. 
I know the times he brought you your coffee.
He doted over you. 
He adored you! 
He loved you! 
It showed every moment of the day.
I know there will never be another like him.
As he was the love of your life. 
So, my wish for you,
Is when you feel that tear. 
Know that he is watching over you from above.
As, my dear Aunt Petie.
He was your true love. 
I am so grateful for all you shared. 
As, it gives us all hope that the true love you shared. 
Can never be broken. 
With love and admiration.
In loving memory of my Uncle Eddy. 
Love, your niece,
Kristine Saxon

I am very grateful for all these beautiful pictures the family shared. Sending our love. Aunt Petie and Uncle Eddie, proved that love and commitment is real.   They way they lived gave us all hope of true family. I will always have fond memories of Uncle Eddie.  Dear family, my love and blessings are being sent now.  May the lord continue to bless all of you! With love, Kristine and  Jacob Saxon

Many people will remember my uncle for his kindness and love for his family- But this love was not just for the immediate family but to his extended family also. My a uncle (and aunt) helped my mother and I through many rough spots in our lives. They opened their hearts and house on many occasions to us. Uncle Eddie was also a good friend to my father when he needed someone to lean on.  And he was there for me when my father passed on.  A single man’s kindness will forever echo in those he loved and those who were lucky enough to know him- Thank you Uncle Eddie♥️

Eddie was the best of neighbors.  Always helpful and friendly.  We will greatly miss him.  He was helpful in ways that we didn't know.  While we were on a vacation he watched over our home.  He was loved by this household in many ways.  

Sorry for your loss, I worked with Tom for many years here at Bausch & Lomb he was always a very pleasant person with a great spirit.
Always talking about his family , he will be missed by all.



My condolences to the Parnell Family. You will be miss Tom. Thank you for the good time at Bausch and Lomb. Marian Robinson

Dear family, Jacob and I send our love. Uncle Eddie was the most amazing man, husband, father and grandfather. He will live in my heart forever.  This was truly a love between two people that most will never know. Aunt Petie, I love you.  May the lord be with you.
