Dear Pam, I am so very sorry for your unbearable loss. I almost feel I knew Tom, as you spoke of him often with such pride and affection! Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as you travel this most difficult path. With great love and strength you stood by your husband during his illness and it is your resilience that will carry through your next chapter! We will certainly miss your smiling presence at Underwood but know that you are right where you need to be! Prayers and positive thoughts my friend, love, Liz

Dear Pam,
Gary and I are very sorry to hear of your loss. Tom was much to young to leave this world already but know that he is no longer in pain and can watch over all of you so much better now. He will always be in your heart. God Bless you and your family.
