Dear Ann & Family, We were so saddened to see Tom's obituary in the Denver Post. It was wonderful to see his picture, a handsome gentle man. We extend our deepest sympathy to all of his family during this very difficult time. We are so very sorry he had to suffer for a long time. I was so happy for you Ann that your loving, large family will give you strength as you move forward during this difficult time. I am sad we did not keep in touch when we saw you at Holy Ghost! We offer our thoughts and prayers to you & all your family that God will bless you with peace and comfort as you move forward. If you have a moment, perhaps I could take you to lunch or take a nice walk and visit, I am now retired so my day will be sunny & bright with you in it. I keep thinking of our Easter together, including the ham & raison sauce. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you & your family. With Love and Prayers, Judy and Bill Marrin

So sad to see Tom's obituary in Post. He was my sometimes fish eating lunch partner at DDHS. His sense of humor was wonderful and kept you on your toes. He had a great
family and will be missed.

What a wonderful, sharp, and witty person. My memories of Tom's calm nature and under-the-radar humor will stick with me always. I could not have asked for more loving godparents as Tom and Ann. My deepest sympathies for all those in their lives. Love Bridget

Our sincere sympathy to Ann and family. I remember going fishing "out the creek" with them when they were dating. Those were good times. Tom had a great sense of humor and I could always make him laugh. He was a good man and will be missed by all who knew him. Our love to the family. John & Heidi
