I was so sad when I heard the news of Tom's passing but Im glad he is no longer suffering. My partner Sara and I didn't know Tom very long.  The first time we met him was our first visit to Way Of The Heart Woods.  We didn't know anyone and he was the first person to welcome us, telling us how accepting and loving everyone was and that we were safe. His eyes lit up with excitement as he told us stories about how he and Dottie found the Troubadours of Divine Bliss and their adventures.  His love for them and the rest of the "Troub Tribe" couldn't be contained.  Dottie... my heart goes out to you and your family.  ❤️

Dottie, I'm not sure you remember me, but I played bass with Tom when we were at the school and moved down to the store front. God used Tom in a way to better educate me on what a believer is and should look like. The day you, Tom, Troy and I went for a motorcycle ride affects me to this day and I was never really able to share with Tom, but let's just say I'm a much better man because of how God used you and Tom that day. I remember also at hearing Tom ask for prayer as to how he was to deal with the business growth at one point. He wasn't sure why all the growth and wanted to be sure he followed Jesus' wishes with the blessing. I've known many believers my whole life, many were ministers, and I've never heard anyone ask for prayer like this. Most I know would just buy bigger and better toys or homes. I so respected and loved him, though we didn't see each other much in the past several years, I always kept up with his adventures on Facebook. Thank you both for blessing me with your presence in my life, you've made me a much better Christian. 

Tom was love and was loved beyond measure. Tom will always be a winking Angel with gentle, soulful eyes and a mischievous grin.. There is so much to say about Tom...he left a big imprint on this Earth and so many hearts. Let this be said of Tom Nelson-he truly sought the heart of Jesus... and he lived it. He had a servant's heart to take care of others. Tom's love for Dottie goes unmatched.Their friendship and devotion to each other is a gift from God. Let our love for Dottie encircle her now and always. We love you, Dottie, and we all vow to hold you and walk by your side. We have such tremendous gratitude to have known such a friendship, such kindness, such a great storyteller, a fisher of men, such a prankster, such a Superman as Tom Nelson. We love you, Cowboy. A King Among Men. --Your Bliss Sisters, Aim Me and Renee
