To all the Egan Family,

I am so sorry at the loss of Uncle Tom. What a great man and what a legacy he has left with all of you. When I last saw him he just looked great and his spirits were terrific. I know it is so hard to loose your parents, but know you have that big extended Egan family out here if you need us.

May all of you find comfort in the many cherished memories you have of him, and hold them close to your hearts.

Love, Joan Marie and Family
