My sympathies to your family. Tom and I became close friends, I'm going to miss him. When I would visit and he wouldn't be feeling well, we would cheer him up by sharing memories of his family, he loved you all so much. That's what kept a smile on his face. I'll keep the memory of his smile close to my heart.
