Dear Mrs. Gouveia, Kathy, Donna, Carol and all the rest of Tom's family,
He was a good family man, husband, a great provider, good father, wonderful grandparent with a really good personality. Although I realize it was his time to go, it does not make his absence any easier for you. Love to you all.
