“Tom, this is all so beautiful and looks great! The far-reaching network that you envision will certainly manifest. We love how you so strongly connect the conversation about aphasia with the conversation about plasticity. The two cannot and should not be separated in any way. Here’s to global aphasia awareness! It takes a nation…an Aphasia Nation! Warmly, Jamil and Malik”
“God Bless you, Tom! And Happy Birthday! There are no words to describe the depth of our gratitude for all that you do for this community. You are the King of Aphasia Awareness, and our lives, and the lives of countless others, are so much better for it. Thank you for your astonishing brilliance, your unwavering commitment, your steadfast resilience, and your inspiring faith in the power to heal. We are indebted to the extraordinary legacy that you continue to build and are honored to call you a friend. We just made our birthday donation to Aphasia Nation. Love and Solidarity"
“Dear Tom, thank you so much for sharing yesterday at the conference. You were Awesome and I really learned a lot from you. You were so vulnerable in sharing what you have been through and how you have come out of it to now help others. I really admire you for that. You sure have a lot of knowledge to share with others and we sure can benefit from your willingness to teach us. I also appreciate all the tools you are so willing to share with us with your articles, newsletter and videos. May the Lord bless you and keep you healthy so you can continue with this ministry of yours. Thank you so much again”
“Thank you so much for coming to speak with us last night! The students were a-buzz after you signed off and we had a great discussion about your story and how it relates to our class information. They really learned a lot from you and I'm so appreciative!”
