How can you sum up how someone's life affected you in a few sentences...... I guess you forget the perfect words and just write about the person. As I got to know THom I realized he didn't value material things as he valued feelings of the heart. I can say my Brother-in-Law indulged in caring for others was his Quest in life. He seemed to help everyone in any way he could, he was just that type of guy! I can write stories but those are my personal stories and the warm memories will last a lifetime. I will miss you
