My Friend Dee, I cannot believe what I just heard today. Words cannot express how I feel. Tom was a very good friend. In some ways, I looked at him like a father figure. I know we didn't see each other as much, but we kept in touch from time to time. I will miss him so much. My heart and my prayers are with you.

Dee,
I never met your husband but know from what you have told my mother that he was a wonderful man. You're one of the sweetest ladies I know and I will be thinking of you.
