I fell in love with Tom the day Kathy introduced him to me. He was the best brother-in-law & addition to our family that I could hope for & from the moment they married, I never saw my sister without Tom - not once. He was present at every event, every dinner & I always looked forward to his stories, laughter & joy for life. There are losses that make sense, but this isn't one of them. I suppose it's not for me to question God's plan. To Tom's parents - you raised a wonderful son. To Tom's siblings - I envy that he was in your lives through childhood & beyond. To Tom's children - I know that you recognize how lucky you are to have had him as your father. To Tom's grandchildren - I am so glad that you are old enough to have memories. And to my sister - we recently talked about how Tom was the perfect person for you & you for him. I am beyond heartbroken that you are enduring the greatest loss of your lifetime & way too soon.
