It has been 10 months and the kids were told it will never get easier and I don't believe that, I know you are watching over us and we will have it easier soon. Maybe after these first few holidays. We had you last year at the holidays and it was very hard to see you that way. But I will take the credit for changing you from Mr. Scrooge (when I met you) to Santa Claus in the short eight years we were together. So Santa please bring us all that we need for the holidays this year with the help of God - just bring us hope, health and happiness. We miss you so much Dad, Tom give me a sign again. Love, MARY

To the members of the Lucia family,

We have lost a good and gentle man. Tom has fought the good fight, and I am all the richer for having known him. Tom was a great influence to me when I was diagnosed with cancer. I had the joy and privilege of participating in the Relay for Life a year ago. I will never forget him, and his memory lives on in my heart.

Sincerely,

Sister Barbara Jean McHugh, CSJ
