MJ this is a time when it sucks to be living out of town. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers. On any given Sunday there was something special and it wasn't the game but after the game. No matter how often you made the Sunday game you were always treated as family by Tom.

My prayers are with you and your family. I am Stephanie, the OR nurse from St. Mary's. From my limited time with Tom, I can tell you that he loved you all and I let him know that there were many people there that loved him, you his family, and his St. Mary's staff that were there to give him the best care we could. He was strong and had a great smile. I wish I could see you all again. I would like to know more about him, but you as his family as a great witness of the husband, father and son he was. I was honored to meet you and am deeply saddened that our time together was short and the outcome was that Tom was going to his heavenly home. Please know that you have all been in my prayers since this tragic time and I will continue to pray for you all. You are Tom's legacy...what a blessing you all are!!
