Fr Tom thinking of you today on this your 4th anniversary. I am sure you are chatting to all the relatives and friends gone before you that you knew while in this world. I hope you have met your extended family from Ireland who made it to America at difficult times for them. They brought the faith with them and remained true to it and passed it on to their families which was a credit to them. Ireland needs your help with the loss of faith by many of its peoples in present times you. Please ask Our God who I know you were very close to while down here that you are even closer to Him now in paradise to take care of your extended family in America and all here in Ireland. I know it will be only by the Grace of God that He will rid this virus for all mankind.
Remembering you at this time on your anniversary of the wonderful kind considerate person you were to so many during your time on this earth. Rest in Peace dear cousin and it was a privilege to have known you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family today. it sorrows me that I will be unable to be at the Masses as I am out of Town. Father Tom was a wonderful priest who is and always will be an example for my own ordination. May he rest in peace and see the Light of Glory.

My dear friend,

My heart is broken but my faith stays strong. You showed me how to be a better man simply by being faithful, happy and kind. I thank you for your life interwoven with mine, Michele's, Gabby and Mel's. We became friends the moment you walked into our home in 1989 and I will forever cherish every moment we spent together.
You are resting in peace
