Not sure what to say?

I can´t believe it´s been 10 years since your death. So much has happened and I´ve missed you through it all. I could not have had a more loving, kind, and generous father. You would be so proud of these three grandkids.

My sympathies to his family. Mike Greene, Poway CA

Here it is July of 2012 and I now hear of Tom's passing.
I can only convey my sorrow of this news but remember what a wonderful person Tom was and how he was an example for of us on how to treat each other with love,kindness,and respect.

I am sorry I was unable to see Tom just one more time and laugh like we did during our fondu parties at Lake Oswego

Love always

My love and prayers are with you. As I have said to Sarah many times (and I think others have voiced as well) Tom was such a great example of how to live fully and well. I will continue to hold a loving space for you as move through the days ahead.
Love, Lynette

Dear JoEllen, Sarah, & Kirsten, I am so sorry you have lost Tom. I cannot remember a time when he did not greet people with a smile,and he was so sensitive and gentle as a dentist. My heart goes out to you. With love, Molly

JoEllen, Sarah, and Kirsten, We were so sorry to see that Tom had passed away. He was such a wonderful father and husband. I especially remember Erin and Sarah's prom preparations at your home. We all had such fun. We'll keep you in our prayers.
