Dear Joann and girls

My heart aches for your loss. Tommy was one of my favorite people in the world, He always had a hug and a kiss for me and it was such a pleasure to see him. The two of you were such a wonderful example of what a marriage should be. You will have such blessed memories of your years together. And those beautiful girls are such a wonderful example of what kind of parents you are. I will remember you all in my prayers. God will keep his arms around all of you and give you the strength to get through these difficult days.

Love to all of you

My deepest condolences to Joann and the entire family. Tom was a year behind me at Holy Rosary and we both were members of Scout Troop 70. We all played sports at Don Bosco center and Tom was always a captain or one of the team leaders. Always smiling and laughing while spending our allowances at Cheebays. Rest In Peace

May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Joann, Flo, Diana, and Jackie,
