Ernestine & Family,
I have just received the word regarding Tom's departure. I know the time for now is difficult as you experience the emptiness that you are feeling.

Ray And family and friend of Tom. a voice from the past ODU gymnastics days. So sorry to hear about your dad passing. Keep the memories close to your heart and they are alway with you. I still can hear MIke Dean and you cheering the ODU team on. My mom died 17 years ago but I still can smell her cooking. Blessing and prayer for your sadness and well wishes for more happiness in your life.
