I would see both Tom & Sharon at the hospital. Then also enjoyed visiting with them at St. Vincent after Mass. Sharon, sorry for your lost.

I have known Tom for many years as neighbors in preteen days. Tom then had a beautiful Nova that he washed and polished every weekend. I knew his dad as well, warm and friendly family. Later, Tome worked at EGH as did I and we would run into each other in the halls. Always a soft-spoken man that had a smile and handshake. My thoughts and prayers for Sharon, family and friends.
