Ms Edith, Thom, Dee, Dineen, Tara and all the family, especially our loved Tommie Jo. My deepest condolences in the passing of my long time acquaintance and friend Tom. I do not remember any part of my life in Gonzales where Tom was not part of it in one way or another. As a youth, always wishing for the day you were old enough to make it into the Kyi, or later when the Jambalaya festival association or other civic matters brought Tom & Ms Edith out to help or our yearly Tallion/Anderson/Leblanc family reunions on Family Street. I am sorry I will not be able to honor his life with you Saturday due to another commitment. Please call on me if I can be of service to your family. May he rest in eternal peace.
