It was an honor meeting Tom Wood Grant. I am also proud and will never forget being part of his class. He was always cheering, optimistic and someone that I will enjoy talking to. My deepest condolences and my heart goes for Nick and the family.
Mel and Nicky, no words will do justice how sorry and saddened we are for the loss of Toms beautiful life. He had an impact on so many people and Lewis and myself still cherish the fun memories we all had together growing up. He was always the most enthusiastic and courageous person to have around, teaching us to be more adventurous with his ability to parkour in any environment and run down the cliff side at the Grampians. He always had the most contagious laugh and smile. He is going to be so missed from the physical world however there is no doubt that he will surround you with his love and beautiful energy forever.
Wish we were able to attend but sending you all of our love and strength from WA. Xx
Mel, I have just watched this wonderful tribute to your beloved Tom. To see Tom’s friends speak so compassionately of their friend Tom, who loved them and encouraged them is also a tribute to you as his mum. Mel, you spoke from the heart and touched me and I’m sure all who listened to your thoughtful words. Love and wisdom to you in the challenging days ahead. Lesley Taylor
Our condolences to Tom’s family at this sad time.
What a lovely tribute to your son — you obviously raised a beautiful young man, Mel. Thinking of you with sadness and strength. From Margaret at MCM.
Mel, we are thinking of you all. What an amazing service and wonderful stories of Tom. Georgia, Maddy and Rachel will always cherish the week you so kindly took us into your home. We are so sad for your loss and we are feeling for you Martin, Nick and the rest of your family.

What a privilege to hear from afar all the wonderful, loving tributes paid to Tom. He was clearly very beloved to so many people. I especially loved hearing how freely and how frequently Tom told his friends that he loved them … I’ve no doubt that this abundance of love, and Tom’s ability to articulate it, came directly from you, dearest Mel. Thinking of you and holding you & Nick and all of your family in my thoughts. Lots of love from London. Wish I could give you a hug.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute to such a beautiful boy. Bless you Tom.❤️

It’s time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad, and I’d much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.
My tears are saying what my words cannot. I am praying for you. You will be greatly missed.
As Pat and Ailish.s Grandparents, Tom came into our lives for just a few brief years however he left behind such everlasting memories. His love of life, his depth of knowledge on such a large range of subjects, his willingness to help others whenever possible, his love of animals and also his absolute respect for those around him both young and old.
His cheeky grin will remain with me always. You will be sorely missed Tom.
My deepest sympathy to all of Tom’s family and loved ones.
Words can’t describe how grateful we are to be able to hear so much about Tom’s life from afar.
A very special man farewelled.
How you managed to have the courage to stand & speak so eloquently & express such heart felt emotions is amazing.
A wonderful tribute to a man so loved by all.
Thinking of you & I so much want to wrap you in my arms & give you both a huge hug-but I will have to wait.
Lots & lots of love Loretta & John
It’s clear Tom’s strength of character comes from his unbelievable mother. Maura and I are awestruck, Melanie, by your ability to speak so eloquently in the face of such heartbreak. We love you infinitely and we wish you, Nick, Martin and all of your extended family peace and comfort in your memories of your exceptional and beloved son and brother. Thank you for streaming this so that we could share in this celebration of his profound impact on those who knew and loved Tom.
All our love,

Melanie, my heart breaks for you and your family, yet so full from the love pouring out from Tom’s celebration of an incredible life. Grateful to be a participant from NYC. All my love, Cassie
We love you so much Tom. My heart goes out to everyone. So grateful to be able to attend via stream while I am unwell. Tom was so kind to everyone and he was there for me through some tough things. I wish I could have hugged you more and been with your family and friends today ❤️ But the love I have seen in that room is magical.
Mel, your colleagues at MCMPC are thinking of you and your family and friends, and send our love.
Very beautiful service, sending my deepest condolences and prayers to your family.
What a beautiful Man! Time spent working together was never dull, he always had a smile on his face and knew how to make people laugh

So much of what was said about Tom shows what a wonderful being he was. The descriptions remind me of (‘80’s)traveling with two spirited young people Melanie & Phil, with an incredible gusto for life; and such gifts passed on! So heartbroken for the family & friends for your loss. Sending Buffalove❤️
Loved seeing the photo of Tom doing a backflip, we would’ve seen him do it 1000 times at Hawthorn West. Always so full of life. Thinking of you all and sending my love.

R.I.P Tom xx ❤️❤️
Such a tragedy for the most beautiful blended family. Word really cannot express what is needed – especially for Mel and Nick. In our hearts.
Grateful to be able to join in remembrance from the US.
My thoughts go out to everyone grieving over the loss of Tom and to his family. The news of his passing was heartbreaking and sudden but the memories shared with Tom endure.
Tom was always so kind and caring to everyone. Tom’s happy and optimistic personality was always so nice to be around as he lit up every room he went in to. You will be greatly missed Tom. My heart goes out to everyone, especially his family.
Rest in Peace Tom you were loved by so many.
So pleased we can join you from NZ.
May the tears shed in loss and sorrow for Tom be the water and nurturance of growth for something beautiful and meaningful in memory of his life.
Much Love
Karen & Steve
Having been a part of Tom’s teenage growth having him visit Indi at our house since he was a young teen, being a safe space for them
all to learn their parameters whilst safe in my house, it is devastating to learn of his passing. He, like all of Indi’s close friends, are part of my heart and I grieve with them at this loss.
My heart goes out to his family with this tragedy.
