tom will be remembered for many, many things. but for me, it was his love for my mom, the way he embraced me, my many children and grandchildren. his willingness to share our lives, dispense advice and keep us laughing with his amusing anecdotes will be a part of our lives and our memories forever. we will miss him terribly.
