Uncle Tom,
I will miss you more than you know. You were always so sweet and kind to me...I will never forget that. The next family function when I bring some Palmieri's Pizza...I will be thinking of you-I know you looked forward to it. I hope you know how much you will be missed. I wish you could've met Mackenzie...but for some reason it wasn't meant to be. I know you will be looking out for all of us now, forever.
