Not sure what to say?

Dear Karen and family, a year has past and yet it seems that Tom left us so recently. Here at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital, where Tom spent so many years, to this day whenever someone mentions Toms name it never fails to bring out the smiles and fond memories. We all imagine that impish smile of his, and wonder what might have come next.

Dear Karen and family,
Both Gillian and I were so saddened to learn of Tom's passing in Creighton's newsletter. He was one of the first classmates I met as a freshman medical student and I shall always remember as a kind, compassionate man with a great sense of humor. Although we didn't keep in touch I feel honored to have known him. Dennis and Gillian Martin

Dear Karen and family:

So sorry to just now hear about Tom. Sending my sincerest prayers that you will be comforted in knowing he's in a better place. So many found memories of Tom in his service to the St Stephen community. I genuinely enjoyed talking to y'all and admired your commitment to family and faith.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Receive his soul and present him to God the Most High.

Dear Karen and family,

My family and I express our deepest condolences upon Tom's passing. I only met him a few times but knew that he was a warm, nice man and a good husband and father. We hope that the wonderful thoughts expressed by your mutual friends bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Most sincerely,
Rosanna Russell and family

Dear Karen and family,

Just been informed through my mother ( Viena) about Dr. Leachs passing.
Dr. Leach has always been kind and very supportive through the years. He made our wedding celebration complete by fixing a church St. Finn Barrs and a priest, Father Leach 29 years ago and a great honeymoon up at you house in Napa.
It seemed to be whenever we met at St. Francis, he would say Take a trip to Napa! Here are the keys!.

Thank you, Dr. Leach for your warmth...

Dear Karen and family:
So sorry for your loss. Just learned of Tom's passing. It was an honor and pleasure knowing him as a medical school classmate of his at Creighton.
Dr Robert Kanner

Condolences to Karen and the entire family. May God's blessings comfort you all.

Dear Karen and family,
Tom was always that special friend . We first met at St James and then moved on to Saint Ignatius and later to USF. While at St James, we often walked home with some classmates and played with the other kids who lived near 21st and Dolores. Tom's grandmother's house on 21st was the coolest place to hang out. When my mom died the summer before 8th grade, Tom and his parents were there for me. Tom was not only the role model my Dad encouraged me to spend time with,...
