Ginni and family...so very sorry to learn of Tom's death. Cancer is truly a mean disease that robs us of a physical body but never the love each of you has shared during his lifetime on earth. May God's sheltering wings be with you at this time and always.

So very, very sorry to read of your husband's death in the Toledo paper today. I tried sending you an e-mail with the address I have but it came back.
My deepest sympathy and I hope the fond memories you have of the past will help you through this sad time.
