Kathy and kids,

So sorry to hear about Tom's passing. Too young and too much to live for. However, those choices are not ours to make, God had a different path for Tom. I wish there were words of comfort I could share with you to make the pain easier to handle, but I can only hope your pain is short as you celebrate Tom's life and love he had for his family. My prayers are with all of you.

What a sad shock to hear of Tom's death. I knew nothing of his latest battle. My deepest sympathies to his family and the many, many people he loved, and who loved and admired him.

Dear Kathy and Maureen, Tim, Kelly and Katie,

Oh, Such a sad shock to hear about this. I haven't seen Tommy in so many years, yet the memories I have of him are of a sweet boy, heroic man, proud dad, husband, and brother, much- adored grandson and an enduring loving presence for his mom. You will all miss him so much and I hope the vast hole he leaves will soon be filled with warm and awesome memories. I cannot be with you during this time, but I send you all much love and sympathy. Your cousin,

Maureen, I send my deepest sympathy to you and all of the family on the loss of Tom. I was Tommy and Timmy's babysitter back in the Holy Rosary-Roseland days when they were babies. Praying for all of you. Michele Bartholomew Pick (GA)
