Our condolences to Mary Ann and the Family! We bought your rural Mayville home back in 2004! We loved it as if we built it ourselves. Your Dad was the reason we purchased the home as my husband fell in love with Tom's shop! We have fond thoughts of you and have loved living here for the past 17 years now. Son John has been a constant visitor to our home as he loves hunting here still. We often discussed Tom and hoped he was doing well. May he rest in peace. With our sympathy and warmest regards.
