We were saddened to learn about the loss of Tom. As neighbors, with adjoining property (until our move to Texas in 2010), we enjoyed conversing with you during those times of grass mowing.
God bless the family and may you realize that Tom is in peace with his recent medical issues.
Sincerely,

Ron and Chrisine Schwartzkopf
