Tom’s Story

Site created on June 20, 2022

On Saturday, June 18th, Tom was involved in a severe ATV accident up north. He was airlifted to North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale, MN.  We will be using this page to keep everyone informed of his situation and condition.

We are so grateful for the love, support, and outpouring of prayers for Tom. A few of you have reached out and asked about donating money and we appreciate the gesture but we will not be accepting any monetary gifts. All we ask for is your prayers, that is what is needed most needed right now. Please be praying for Tom, Finley & Sailor, and the rest of our family and doctors that are administering Tom's care.

Doctors have said that he can hear us, so if you would like to have anything read out loud to him, please leave a message on this page! Again, thank you. We all know how strong-willed and determined our Tom is - we have strong faith that God will pull Tom through this!

Journal entry by Lisa Richards —

Our whole family sends a heartfelt THANK YOU for the gorgeous funeral flower arrangements,  plants and gifts that you all sent.  All of this beauty helped to brighten our day.  Thank you for your love, support and generosity through everything.  I know that Tom would have loved all of your thoughtful contributions. 

 For those of you who were able to attend the funeral, THANK YOU!  It was so good to see your faces, share hugs, hear stories and enjoy fellowship together. 

For those of you watching online, THANK YOU!  I love that technology allows us to stay connected in such a beautiful way. Your presence was felt. 

For those of you that worked so very hard behind the scenes preparing food, setting up the tent, tables and chairs, clearing plates, washing dishes, making desserts, emptying trash and so much more, THANK YOU.  


With much gratitude,

The Maanum Family
