We are so sorry for your loss.
We loved Tom so. His warmth, sence of humor and generosity of spirit will be missed. He loved to visit at our cabin in Bristol with my mom, Gladys. He was like a kid in a candy shop at my friends home in Churchville. Her decorations at the holidays reminded him of Pattys. He made you feel special for something a mundane as hanging a mirror. He will be with us always.
