Not sure what to say?

Having received an email from Legacy.com on the anniversary of Tom's death, I wanted, once again, to read all the wonderful comments and thoughts submitted by friends and family members. I have waited until today, August 20, 2023 having just returned from vacation and seeing that the last entry I made was 2021. Boy how life keeps moving quickly and here I write two years later! As I write this I re-read all the comments and notes and saw how Rosemary Barrett, Tressa's sister made several...

Here we are all these years later and still Tom remains among my memories with much love and gratefulness for having him as my brother. I send wishes to all who considered his life one of success with a beautiful legacy he left in his family which has grown with more grandchildren since his passing. I love the following thought which I received in a gift written in the style of the Book of Kells though I am not sure if the monks wrote this one or it is the artist's choice: "The tide recedes...

Tom your wit was outstanding. You were always ready to sing a song with my father - hope you two are singing up there - you are missed

Every time I hear a golf story I think of Tom. Every time I hear anything Irish I think of Tom. When their is an Irish song being sung I think of Tom & my father raising their voices in song. There are never any words to describe how much you miss somebody when they are gone. I know Tom is missed greatly but he's will live on in our hearts. Rosemary

Dear Dad,
I've broken one of your cardinal rules on this one....Don't Procrastinate. I have been meaning to submit an entry to your guestbook since it was published last year and now with just days before it will be taken down I'm finally putting ‘pen to paper'. What can I say? I work better when I'm under a deadline.

I think I have hesitated writing this because I don't know where to begin. I hope you know what an amazing Dad and mentor you were. You have left an imprint on my...

There are not words to capture what a great man my Dad was. As others have written he was a funny story teller, singer, golfer, friend, and family man who brought joy to those he knew. It is nearly a year since we lost him but he is with me every day. Thanks to all who have shared their memories. Miss you Dad!

To Tressa, your wonderful, thoughtful
family, extended family and group of
enduring friends.
Once again, Kathy beats us all in
putting her thoughts on paper about our
special friend. This passed year has
flown by so quickly and yet, Tom
is present in our minds, our thoughts
and in our actions. I have had a year of friends reminding me of "how much they miss Tom", or "what would Tom have done",or "do you think Tom would have made that same decision" or "wouldn't Tom...

When we measure time, it depends on the circumstances to reveal the method and the calculation. As the Summer Olympics are played in London, time can be split into fractions of a second with the use of electronic devices to determine winners and those in second or third could hardly be called losers with such slender margins. In other circumstances traditional clocks even without a second hand movement are sufficient to tell us when to leave for our destination. Other time is measured in...

To Tressa and your wonderful family

As days, weeks and now months pass
since Tom's death, Kathy reminds us
that a day like yesterday helps us all
recall Tom's special contributions
to our lives. It is a blessing when
folks from all aspects of Tom's life on
earth take time to recall one or more of those
special moments with our friend.

At a NYC St Patrick's Day parade sometime
in the late 90's, I laugh and
recall one of...
