My sincere condolences to Tom's family. I just learned of Tom's death today from one of the CNA's at The Terraces. I had the privilege of meeting Tom while my mother was rehabilitating at The Terraces. I enjoyed sitting at his table and talking with him during meals. I will miss his adorable smile and chuckle when I would make him laugh. What an incredible life he lived. He will be missed.

I extend my sincere condolences. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Tom when my family member also moved into the Terraces Nursing Home. What an incredible man, a true inspiration of everything that is kind and good. I will miss his smiling face. My thoughts and prayers are with all friends and family. Sincerely, Carole Moreno
