Support for Tom's Life Partner

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Thomas Murphy, our dear loved one. He left us suddenly and far too soon from a heart attack on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. He will forever be remembered for his infectious laugh, humor, generosity, creativity, passion, and friendship. They say some people light up a room when they walk in but if you've ever met him you'd know, Tom set it on fire. Whether he was singing, dancing, or putting on a skit for the entire family, he was sure to entertain anyone in his presence. There is a huge hole in our spirits and he will be missed like crazy.

It's hard to be prepared for moments like these that are unexpected. We are all in shock and disbelief. I know there are a lot of you who have reached out and asked how they could help and with all this being said he left behind his life partner of 42 years, Yvonne Janssen. They have been each other's support all this time both in their loving relationship and their financial stability. Toms passing has been followed with the realization of this situation and the inevitable inability for Yvonne to continue supporting herself alone. So we are reaching out to friends and family to help relieve some of the stress, in lue of flowers or gifts we are asking for whatever support you are able to pay forward and donate. No donation is too small.

We thank you all for the loving messages and support during this extremely devastating time.

***Please note Yvonne's middle name is Ann and her maiden name is Bloemhard. When she signed up to donate to another cause on GoFundMe (years ago) she signed up with this name. So that is why you are seeing Ann Bloemhard as the beneficiary.
