Tom and family,
I am very sorry to hear of your family's loss.

I have been out of touch with my Mom & Dad (Joan & Robert DeWart) after a loss in my family, so I only just found out the night of 11/10/07, when I saw Penny at our high school reunion.

This is the fastest way possible I know, to express my sympathy and apologize for it's tardiness.

My prayers are for you and your entire family as well as my Dad (Robert) during this time.

Joan touched many lives in this world. She was an angel on earth and is an angel in heaven.

Thankyou

TOMMY,
May I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your brothers and sister on the loss of your mother. We always know the day will come but we are never prepared. We are slowly becoming the next generation.

Tommy,
Please accept my thoughts and prayers for your mom, you and your family. I never know how to express my thoughts at times like these but I want to share something that a friend told me when my dad passed away. It helped me with my grief and it may also help you with yours. Your mother will always be with you. Your sorrow will lessen and be replaced with fond and precious memories. She will be there when you need her.
Steve

Dear Tommy, Timmy, Tammy, Todd, Troy and Tab;
Deeply sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your mom. I have many childhood memories of you guys and your mom. Losing a parent is something as children we never think possible. We think we have them forever and then God takes them to heaven to become beautiful angels. Remember you mom will always be with you. Love Donna Garrity
