To Tom and Family,
I am so incredibly sorry to hear of the recent passing of your Mom. She was a very nice, kind, and caring woman who I will remember fondly. I enjoyed our conversations about everything - you name it: sports, politics, education, etc, etc - and consider myself lucky to have known her. She will indeed be greatly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family & friends.
