We offer our sincere sympathy for the loss of your father and step-father. We met Tom through Mildred. We enjoyed hearing Tom's stories, and he gave us a couple of small beautiful hand carved wooden bowls. We will never forget his thoughtfulness. Our thoughts and prayers are with your families. We are interested to know Mildred's current address. Sincerely, Julie Gross
