Dear Bugnacki Family,
With a heavy heart I write this note of condolence to you. Tom was such a strong and faithful Christian--I will never forget his love of the Lord and the bold way he would proclaim it! He encouraged me in my own faith walk, I will never forget him and his wonderful impact. I know where he is and believe me from what I read in the Bible it's a much better place! No more pain or tears and reunion with all those whom have gone before him in his life. I can just picture him preparing and serving a delicious meal for all those with him.
My family will also be eternally grateful to Tom for loving on my special sister, Jane. Tom never forgot her birthday!! He delighted in pleasing her with gifts and dinners out. Jane is grieving deeply today along with the whole Alemany family. God bless and cover you at this sad time.
Tom and Beth D'Agostino
