We received your message about your dad today. Tom and Shirlee were fabulous neighbors for 20 years. They were great parents, articulate, intelligent folks who were always friendly and helpful. May we all lead such good lives.

Hi Liedkes- Janet, Jack and I offer our sincere condolences on Uncle Tom's passing. I will always have great memories of him as a great friend to my folks as well as a guy with a fantastic sense of humor. I am sure Carol and Dick had a heavenly beverage for him as he trod the streets of gold for the first time. Good news- we will all be there someday, together, forever., God Bless Aunt Shirlee- we are thinking and praying for you.
