My deepest condolences to all the family in your loss and sorrow. I am with you in my prayers for Tom and the family.
I have not seen Tom since Keele and London and yet, these last few weeks, I have been thinking of him very often. It's via the Internet I found out the sad news. May Tom rest in the peace of the Lord
