Thinking of Cousin Tom, his family, brothers, and all who loved him. He was a larger than life cuzzin with whom we younger ones ran into Lake Erie with from the Beach...accompanied by his brothers, his father, and his uncles. Linda was beautiful and a special woman. Our sympathy goes especially to you Heidi in this major loss, and to Eddie and Hank, and all who have been there at Tommy's side. Tommy is not forgotten here. A first cousin is part of your childhood. May perpetual light shine upon Tommy and all the sweet departed souls of our Families. May the peace of Christ comfort you, and may you keep green the memory of Tommy, Linda, and Joey. You are in prayers.
