Marcia, my dear friend,colleague and mentor. Tom will be in our hearts and remembered with fondness. We had good times having dinner together sitting out on the patio above the river...those days will always be remembered!

He will be in our prayers always, and a candle will be lit especially for him on Sunday, May 9th.

May he now be at rest in the presence of our Lord, and Marcia, may you continue to have strength and courage.

God bless you!
