Anna Aguirre and Family

Dear Teddie, Virginia and I just learned of the death of Tommy and we were so sad to hear that news. We have such fond memories of lots and lots of laughter and of Fourth of July parties and other gatherings at your place in Mesilla Park, including a backyard performance by Baxter and others. While we find both written and spoken words inadequate to express the depth of our concern for you and your family, we do want you to know you all are in our thoughts and prayers, now and forever. ...

Mr. Tomson,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USN in the Pacific fighting the Japanese during WW II as a crew member of the destroyer transport USS Kilty(APD 15) which saw extensive action from 1943 to 1945. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
