Hi Tom,
I can't believe it's been a year. As I type this looking at a picture of you and mommy I just needed to tell you that you are thought of often and are very missed. Your memory lives on in all the stories we all continue to tell. I know this is going to be a hard day for mommy so can you please watch over her today and help her to feel your presence and fill her with peace. I Love You!

Hi Tom,
I can't believe its been 8 months since you passed. You have been on my mind so much lately, more so with the holidays quickly approaching. I was sitting here and thinking of past Thanksgivings and I just can't believe you won't be here. I will so miss you, your quick wit and your infectious smile. You never let any of the craziness that life seems to expel at times affect you. I can just hear you telling me "What are your gonna do" and always in that moment it was like being hit with a tidal wave of clarity and I would just know things will be alright. I've always admired your strength. I know mommy is missing you so much but she puts on a brave face and tries to keep herself busy but I know from experience its the alone time when the emotions are over whelming. But I know you watching over her. We all love and miss you so much. I'm so sorry we didn't recognize that this obituary was listed earlier because I know if everyone had you'd be hearing from everyone. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! Maybe this year you can have a feast with Toppy and Jessica. That would be one gathering I would love to attend. I love you Tom!
Always and Forever, Doris XOXO

Diane,
Please accept our deepest sympathy. Tom was a kind and friendly man. We really just met him last summer after the Palisades picnic. He was so proud for his sun room and offered to show Barbie and me.
If you ever need anything you know you have great neighbors and we're all here to help in any way.
God Bless You
