Thinking of Tom and your family recently. He was so very important to our family... especially to William. I love to hear him tell stories of them playing. I love that he meant so much to Will that he remembers the smallest details... especially the spearmint gum! LOL
Much love,
Bob and Ellen D'Onofrio
