Very sorry for your loss. Hoping you are finding a way to peace as time flows by.
Just hearing about this and apologize for not attending the memorial service. Tom was such a dynamic and confident individual. My last contact with him was before Hurr. Katrina but I remember his spirit so well. He gave me an opportunity to design a few of the restaurants that he owned and I will always be grateful to him for the belief he had in me and my work. His memory will live on.

Dianne, It takes the ultimate spiritual courage and support to endure the loss of a spouse after 48 years of marriage. We will offer our prayers in support as we are all helping to walk each other home to our Father. We enjoyed our time with you both as neighbors.

Dianne, my old Newcomer's and book club friend, I can't begin to know what you are going through. I am sorry for the pain your broken heart is causing. Forty-eight years is full of a lot of memories for you to cherish and I hope that will heal your heart. I wish you well and check your shoes before leaving the house at least for a while. Hugs, Sherry King
