Shocked and saddened to hear of your loss. We hadn't known that Tom was ill and hopefully you can find solace that he went so quickly. With my husband and Tom sharing the great Regan name, Tom's passing really hits home and we share in your grief.
Regretfully,

Beth-

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. You and your family are in my prayers.

This was a surprise. Tom and I have shared the same name for all these years and every time we met he let me know that he had it first. Tommy couldn't help being Irish and slipping in a little jab here and there whenever the opportunity arose. I will miss him.
