Dear Lucy, Lucille, Beverly and Family,
My heart goes out to all of you in your time of sorrow. What a wonderful person tom was... I remember the times we were teenagers and I was at the house many times, what good times we had even when you Lucy and Tom came out to visit in Calif, and we had a great time. I will cherish those times forever.. My heart goes out to all of you in your time of sorrow...

Love and God Bless,

Laura and Bob Baker
