Mary,
I´m sorry I won´t be there in person to share so many wonderful memories of Tommy. His smile, laugh, sense of humor were constants. Our friendship as couples with our kids at the A-Frame, our times spent out at dinners or get togethers especially at your house. I´m grateful for these memories and for you and Christine, Caroline, Deidre and Timmy.
My love to all of you. Judy
