My heart is broken for all the family. It is hard to be the survivors of such a loved man. Remember he is with god now no pain just smiling down on you all. For he has done a good job loving you. Remember him always as i will.

We were blessed to have Dr Carlow´s emergency diagnostic skills when our daughter, Jessica, was 2 years old. (She´s now 33). She was banging her head against the wall from pain and the colored part of her eye was stuck out to the side. She had double vision and has had a lifetime of daily migraines. He told 2 very frightened parents it was either a brain tumor, an aneurysm or a less than 1 out of a million chance it was Opthalmoplegic Migraine. She became his journal and a conference child too. He followed her through adulthood, prescribing massive doses of steroids during and after many hospitalizations. We believe his controversial steroid doses saved her eyesight. In 2017 when she was diagnosed with MS, his conference paper brought me to tears. It was the theory that he had presented about "was Opthalmoplegic Migraine really Migraine." He was a brilliant physician and even after Dr Brinkley became her physician, Dr Carlow never forgot Jessica. Thank you for sharing him with the world! I was his patient too and I´m going to write a separate note. May God Bless all of you during this time of loss. You´re in our thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Thomas Carlow was a dedicated and caring person. I was a patient of his for about 25 years, and it was always a pleasure to see him. He had a great sense of humor and was quick with his warm smile. I was blessed to know him.

Dear Susan, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I know you have a hard year a head of you. It will not be the big things that knock you down but the small things like a song on the radio or driving past a place where you went years ago and the memories that will flood back. I know you are strong and you will become stronger as time pass. Sending my love, Susan Jane

Our greatest sympathy to the Carlow family. We have lost a great clinician, educator, and thinker as well as friend and colleague. Tom was a New Mexico treasure in so many ways. May your memories of him sustain you through the coming days.
