Sue and Family - Russ and I have been very blessed to be considered a member of your extended family and we have grown to love you all very much over the past few years. Your family's love and devotion to Tom was truly an amazing thing. You all were there for him over the last 2 years at every turn: Sue with your wonderful companionship; David with his weekend drives and adventures; Tami with the haircuts and constant joking; Heidi with her wonderful care and Mackenzi's presence in his daily life. We have so many wonderful stories to tell that allow us to always keep Tom in our hearts, from broken toilets to his great jokes! Tom was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather and he will be missed very much by all who loved him. We are thinking of you all and will always cherish the time we shared with your family and Tom! Love to you all! Russ, Darlene & Corey
