Arden, Julie, Tom, and Annie, my heart aches for all of you. My memories of Tommy are wonderfull---he was bright, charming, darling, and a great friend. And he could do a mean dive from the second floor of your grandpa's poolhouse into the pool---we had such fun times. My love to all of you---cannot be with you because I now live in Lexington, Ky. My thoughts, however, will be with you on Wednesday. Best, Vicki Thompson Olivo
