All the old memories of St. Jerome school. I was a grade younger but you were always kind to me.

To Tommy´s family, I am very, very sorry for your loss. I can usually write messages after a loss to say how I feel but, this one is just too difficult. He was my husband Wally´s best friend and my very good friend as well. It´s hard to believe we´ll never see or hear his voice again. We´ve lost one of the very best. The only comfort I find is knowing the two of them are together again. Again, my sincere condolences for your loss.

Mike and family. My sympathy on the passing of Tommy. I have good memories of him on East 149th and his time with the City working with us in the police department. God Bless him.
