Joan, I know that your Tom had to have been a wonderful husband and father which is shown by the legacy he leaves behind. You could not be a better human being and I believe Tom contributed to that by letting you be you. I am sincerely sorry that you have to relive this loss again after months of his death. God bless you and your loved ones, my friend.
