Thomas O. Morin
Thy name is integrity.

Thank you for welcoming Jack and me into the Asbury church family
many, many moons ago.
Thy name is gracious.

Thank you for sharing your grief while reading many, many condolence cards
when Mary died.
Thy name is brave.

Thank you for encompassing me in your joyous love of the outdoors
when we kayaked the bay, the Salmon River, Fish Creek, the Moose River, the White River and on a very special trip, the Nantahala.
Thy name is happiness.

And thank you for the grace I witnessed as you neared the end
of our lonely struggles here on earth.
Thy name is inspiration.

“Secure yourself to heaven, Tom,
Hold on tight, the night has come.
Fasten up your earthly burdens,
You have just begun.”

Goodbye sweet prince of a man
Thy name is etched upon my heart.
