A favorite saying of mine growing up was "It's 11:11 and the Angels are dancing in Heaven". To this day I still say that line when the clock reads 11:11. I was driving into Chelmsford this morninng, just looked down and the clock read 11:11. Now I know, Tommy and Eleanor are dancing together in Heaven and it made me smile. We will all miss Tom, but, he's happy! Linda Gaetano
