Todd and Kristen and family,
Our sincerest sympathies in your father's/grandfather's passing. Our prayers are with you all. May you find comfort in knowing he is out of his pain on earth and up in heaven doing the things his earthly body would no longer allow him to do. God bless you all.

Susan,
I was shocked and saddened when I read this mornings obits. I have so many memories of you and Tom when we were all much younger. We always had a great time even when Tom hyptonized me and he could not get me out of the trance for quite a while. Or the time we went to Union Station and ran through the tunnels to say a farewell to another friend. I have always remembered the kindness of your family and Tom's to me way back then. We should have kept in tough when our boys were kicking soccer at St. Clare's but time rambles on. I send you my heartfelt sympathy and that to your sons and their families. Too, too young to be lost to his precious family. Take care and God love all of you.

We will always rememberr how enjoyable and fun it was to get together with Tom and Susan. Tom would have us in stitches, laughing so hard, at his stories. Nobody could tell a story like Tom. We will pray for Susan and the family.

sue; I don't know if you'll remember us or not, but when I read of Tom's death in this morning's paper,the most wonderful memories flooded my brain. I picture you and Tom at Sunday dinner with all of us, and mom laughing herself silly at the antics Tom and I used to pull at the dinner table. We were blessed with your delightful friendship. It's sad we did not keep in touch over all the years that have passed, but memory is a wonderful gift. Few people could make my dad laugh as heartily as Tom could--and you joined right in! We will keep all of you in our prayers and we will be thanking God for the privilege and blessing of your friendship.
With love and prayers-maryellen judge

What a wonderful man Uncle Tom was and I know the O'Neill girls can't imagine a family gathering without him. His sense of humor and ability to make so many of us laugh will be missed. Thoughts and prayers are with him and all of you.
