As I had a personal relationship with Richard since he was married to my wonderful relative, this Mr Mancini sounds like a wonderdul person as well. The Lord is picking the sweetest fruit.

I admire your strength this past weekend. Tom was a great man and the two of you were a great couple. 67 years of marriage is an amazing accomplishment. You were always the loving, dedicated couple.
Above all your example to everyone is your faith. This will help you on the journey you start now. Know that you have a very large group of people to support you.
Let me know if there is anythign I can do.
God Bless,

Dear Terrie and family-
What a sad day for all of us that know Tom. He was such a friendly face and I always look for him and you at daily mass. I know that he is dancing with the angels in heaven no longer challenged by canes and walkers. You all are in my prayers and I send my deepest sympathies!

The memories on 'Stilt Street" in New Orleans were the fondest of memories, we will carry them with us forever....so many wonderful times there. In the kitchen with Mrs. Terri and all the parties that were in that home. It was a wonderful time in our life. Thank you so much for having us for all your festivities! Austin enjoyed learning to swim in that pool. He loved going there. God Bless this beautiful family.

Tom's bio in his own words

Terrie, it's hard to believe that Tom has gone to be with the Lord! We have tried for so long to get together for dinner, so looking forward to it, He will have to look down upon us now when you are able to come. It's been a pleasure knowing the two of you these past 16 years and the time we have spent together, the laughs, good food, friendship. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers and look forward to having you here and look back on the years. Take good care and if I can do anything, let us know!
Love, Ron and Jon

Dear Terrie,
My forever image of Tom is from daily Mass. When he was no longer able to stand during the Mass, he would sit with his hands folded in prayer. Those prayers have taken him to his eternal inheritance. May the prayers of your friends and God's love for you comfort you and your family in the days ahead.
