Pat and Joey, My heart goes out to you both in the loss of Tommy. He was always loved and was always great to me and Dennis. Although Dennis and I divorced and I had not seen him in a long time, he was always thought of fondly. He will be missed.

Joey and Patti,
Our thoughts and Prayers are with you today and always. I know, you know, how much he will be missed and how much we loved him. My fondest memory-one of many was of him calling me "grasshopper". Many Sundays watching football, and Yankee-Red Sox games. I turned him onto Playstation - teaching him fishing and he taught me tiger woods. I know this has to be difficult for you both, if you ever need us please call-anytime, for anything
God Bless
