Tom was a great friend. I worked with him for 7 years and I remember how much fun he could be. I worked with Carol also and I know how much they loved each other. It was so obvious and special. Bless them both now that they´re together again

They say that you're very fortunate, if, in life, you have two real friends. Tom was truly my friend and I will miss him. I take comfort in believing that he is now with our Lord and his beloved Carol.
