Not sure what to say?

Tom was a very special man and a dear friend. I met Tom when I was dating Rose's cousin, Carol, and Tom was dating Rose. I immediately took a liking to Tom and found that he and I had a number of things in common. For example, we were both graduates of Lane Tech and loved to go fishing. ( I should clarify that--I liked to fish, Tom LOVED to fish.) And over the years Tom became quite a proficient angler.

Dear Rose and Family, We are deeply saddened by your loss. We have known Tom and Rose ever since Rose was in high school. Even though we are not in Chicago any longer when we visit, we sometimes would see them because of Mary Ellen Woodward. She us posted on what a wonderful family you are, and you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Joe and Cathy Wos, Cathy, Pattie and Chris

I know we only had the pleasure of meeting him once many years ago when you & Tim were being recognized for a commendation ...most likely one of many proud moments your Dad was there for.
