Hello. I'm just a stranger. I heard of kirk and got really excited as to possibly he could help my dying mother. But then I found this. We are amish mennonite and I can barely get my foot in the door because the world thinks we are dumb. I am so sorry to hear of all this, you have my heart in my hands today because I know what it feels like. May the Lord bless him and obviously his memories and stories will live forever as his sole in heaven will as all. God bless. Anna Yoder

Message from Sara Pera

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Tom's grandfather, Roscoe Ellsworth, was my maternal grandmother's ( Nettie Kirkman Moore) brother and your Dad and I had been working on our family tree together. He was so nice to talk to and had a wealth of info to add. Unfortunately, he became ill and we couldn't really communicate anymore when he went to live with his grandson. I will miss our reminescences and time together on the phone. Take care

Message from Devon and Elizabeth Roudebush

Only now learned of your loss. We will be praying for you all, and rejoicing that your Dad has gone home to be with the Lord.

Message from Joyce M. Jeffries

I was so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He was married to my cousin, Sharon for many years. I can picture him and Jeff in Heaven talking about all the places they've been, things they did and people they knew. Between the two they have a lot of stories to tell. Tom's illustrations were phenomenal and I especially liked the ones in Professor Roberts' book about hewn log houses. Tom was one of a kind and had a brilliant mind. He was a walking history book and will be missed by many people. My heart goes out to Bradley and John and families. Love & Hugs from your Arthur cousin.

Dear Brad & Family,

Please accept our sincere condolences. Something tells me that Tom is in heaven this very moment working on blueprint, perhaps a topographical map or maybe demonstrating to the group how well he can play one of many musical instruments. Tom was one of a kind and a very special friend to us and our family. He will surely be missed; however his stories and memories will live on forever in the hearts of us that truly loved him. RIP Tom Kirkman…..
