Dear Theresa;
Michael and I were so sorry to hear about Tom's passing. I saw it in the paper and immediately told Michael about it. This must be such a difficult time for you to lose someone so dear to you for so many, many years... My gosh, you were married in 1950 -- 57 years together. What a wonderful tribute to your love & vows of marriage. I'm sure he has left you with a tremendous amount of memories and I hope that they will continue to be a source of strength & comfort. We have some very fond memories of you & Tom -- you are both such sweethearts and I'll never forget the time we all went out to a dancing social with Annette & Gerry and you invited us all back to your house for breakfast -- It was after midnight. I was sooo impressed with your spirit of fun, generosity and youthfulness. Our hearts and prayers go out to you Theresa, and all of your family.
With Love & Prayers

I have wonderful memories of my brother Tommy and was always proud of him. To me he could always do anything and repair anything. His biggest accomplishment was marrying Theresa and raising such a wonderful famly.
I can't tell how sorry I am not to be able to come back to Maine to be with you all at this time. You are all in our thoughts.
My wife Anne and I send you our LOVE.
Your brother Anthony
