Dear Barbara and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I worked with him at the Hanscom Primary School. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and I know how much he will be missed. He truly was a very special person, and I thought of him often after he retired from the school.

With sympathy,

I wish to express my sympathy to all of the family. I remember my husband saying Tommy was the best worker on the Dalton farm during the Summer season, a real good kid.
