I am so sorry that we were unable to attend Tom's funeral. Both Bob and I are sick and I was hoping this virus would be better by now, but it is not.
I want to give you all my deepest sympathies on the passing of Tom. Knowing that he had faith helps us all to get over his loss. My thoughts are with Vicki, Jeff, Phil, Joanne and Karen and their families.
