I can't express how heavy my heart is for all of you...
Tom always seemed like a bright light... Kind hearted and always a smile on his face. Every childhood memory I have of him, he was smiling and laughing. In honor of Tom and the love he had for his pets, I have donated to the medical fund at the KC Pet Project. Much love to you all and his beautiful bride Jennifer.
