To the entire family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. I worked with Tom for many years. He was "one of a kind" and will truly be missed.

Frank and Marian so loved your parents and were honored to be so welcomed yesterday at the wake. They both remember so many happy times with Tom and Ann Marie. Their first apartment, having their children and moving to Rockville to raise their families. Marian reminded me that Anne Marie's mother gave her wedding shower and helped with her wedding. Your parents were wonderful, caring people who will be missed. God bless you as you mourn their passing. Ellen & Larry Coleman
