    This was devastating. To see him cry, at his diagnosis, just broke me. His wife is so lovely. I pray they are doing ok.

    Such a beautiful man. Struggling to find the words to describe the love I have for his wife and children. His wife…her courage…love…strength…she really is a remarkable woman - anyone who is lucky to be in her life will be immensely proud to know her.
  • So very very sad. We miss you so much. God bless you in heaven Tom. xx

    1yr since Tom died?! Wow I hope your doing well Kels as well as the kids thinking of y’all RIP TOM PARKER💙🩵
  • Sobbing with Kelsey. Absolutely heartbreaking for her and the children. She is an excellent mother, I can see why Tom loved her so so much, She was so loving and caring to him, even at the end. Their videos together are so beautiful and lovely for the children. Life can be so cruel. RIP Tom and Kelsey, you made Tom's life so happy. I can see he loved you very very much. Your little boy is Daddy's double
  • I'm still can't get over it i remember seeing them at concert i still have the picture of all of them they always gonna be my favorite group
  • My heart goes out to your family. I had an inoperable magliant brain stem tumor back in 1990. The neurologist had it blasted with an overdose of I131 gama radiation. That was 32 years ago. I was supposed to be invalid but the opposite happened. I have zero short term memory but I log everything in to long term memory. I graduated from high school and college with honors. The tumor happened when I was going through puberty and I somehow was able to still father children and I had 3. This really hurts because I do not like hearing other people with similar tumors to not have the success that I was blessed with. All I can do is say you have my deepest condolences and apologies. May my lord Jesus bless you all during your difficult time.

    I feel so lucky to have known who Tom Parker was. After following TW for years I was blessed enough to see them live on their reunion tour... I knew he didn't have long left and I'm forever grateful he chose to spend his last moments with us instead of a few extra months with his family 😭❤️
  • Still doesn't feel real... Kelsey is an absolute star for keep on going in his legacy and for their kids ❤
  • @Louisejames23
    I read his biography, such a sad but inspiring story, and Kelsey is an absolute star for what she’s doing since Tom died. God bless them all ❤❤
