Tom So sorry for your loss. We recently looked at the group picture taken the year we all turned 40. We remembered that reunion and talked about the times we spent at Barb's. We'll keep you in our prayers.

Oh Tom, my heart breaks for you. I leave Thursday for expedition trip with Kelly so I will miss seeing you on 2-10. We will get together soon. Not sure if you know I lost my beloved Ed one year ago. Very sudden. Tough year. We will share memories when I return, dear friend Patty Hunt

Tom ~ Both Ron and I are saddened to learn of the untimely passing of David. You and he were truly a match made in heaven. Through our talks back in the day, in was evident that you both cared deeply for each other. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time. May God be with you.
