Dear Aunt Carmie and all my cousins...
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Tom. I am sorry that you all are suffering right now. I have prayed for peace in your hearts. I am sorry that I will not be there to hug you, and tell you this in person. It has been so long. I haven't seen Tommy in years, I saw Ann and Jenine at Grandma's funeral and you Aunt Carmie, but I sadly had not seen Uncle Tom in years.... My love to all of you.

Aunt Carm and Cousins,
I have this good memory of when I was very young...I was always over in your pool. You adults were always laughing so loud, and Tommy, Jenine and sometimes Ann would be there with me swimming. I am so very sorry for your loss; Uncle Tom is in a much better place.

Carm,
Ginny and I are sad to hear of your loss. It was great to see the both of you the past couple of years in The Villages and the lunches we had with the Marciano's and Favata's were always fun. When I think of Jefferson HS, Tom was always part of the great memories. God Bless.

Dear Carmie,
We were Culver Academy students together over 50 years ago. I heard of the news through my hairdresser, Diane, that Tom had passed away. My greatest memory of you was always speaking so lovingly about Tom. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Barbara (Christopher) Shea.

Carm, Annie, and Family,
Leslie and I are sorry for you loss, beyond our ability to express it! Tom was a great man and a joy to spend time with. When my Father passed, a wise man told me the following..."Parents, are defined by the children they leave behind"...I know that Tom was proudly defined that way! arnie and leslie

Dear Carmie and family,
I am sorry to hear about Tommy. We grew up together, Our parents were very good friends. When we were children Tommy and I played on my front porch together. As we grew up he antonigized me and the girls of the neighborhood! We had fun growing up. I am truly sorry about Tommy. It had been years of course, since I saw him, but when I thought of my childhood, Tommy was part of it. Sandra Billone & John)formerly 183 Burrows St.
