Dear Mary and Family,
I knew Jim at certain family events over the past 13 years, and he always struck me as a very sensitive man. I know that Tom's death struck him hard. I can only hope they are together again and that this thought will comfort you.
My heart is full of sadness for you.

Mrs. Power, Matt, Maureen, and Laura - My memories of your family are so bright from when I was a kid. I always loved seeing Dr. Power - I always felt so small next to him and saying "Hi" after Mass. I even remember finally putting together that both he and my dad were referred to as "Dr."...and just saying "Dr. Power" always made me smile and think of my own dad. Love, comfort, and prayers to all of you!
