Dear Jan, Alan, Scott and Donna,
I can't imagine the overwhelming heartache of losing Tommy, and not long ago, Linda, is such a short period of time. My sister, Bess, forwarded the information to me a couple weeks ago. I will be thinking of you all.
Your cousin,

Dear McConnell family: I am so sorry about Tommy's passing. He was always quick with a smile and was the unofficial mayor of Media, PA. Tommy and I were in the same first grade class at Nativity, B.V.M. grade school.
I wish all of you peace.

If there was one person who represented Media, it was Tommy, always had a smile and was as cool as they come. My thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family during this very difficult time.
