I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. We used to come over Christmas Eve after Mass to visit and usually there was champagne to be had- even as a young girl. So every Christmas Eve, I think of being at Rose and Tom's house. When my aunt called to tell me about Tom's death, the first thought I had was that he and my grandparents, Larry and Eleanor, were having some laughs catching up on things!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
Love,
Kerry

Walter and I have many happy memories of our friendship with Tom over the years. The fun trips with Volvo and Saab to Sweden. The cookouts down here in Vero Beach with Rose and Tom. He was a wonderful man and we'll always remember him. I believe that you never really die but live forever in the memories of loved ones. With thoughts and prayers to the whole family.
