My first memory of Tom is when he and his Sweet
Shirley walked into the Puppy Patch in Elmira Heights.
He picked up the cutest little black and white ShihTzu puppy and said to Shirley, " look what I found" ....it was Love at first sight!
And thus little Molly went home with them that day and became their beloved companion.
That day also started a Dear friendship between Tom, Shirley and myself. As once a month they came back to the PP to have lil Molly groomed. I so enjoyed their visit as Tom usually had us all laughing with his lighthearted sense of humor!
After a few years, I introduced them to Retirement Estates where my husband and I lived. What a Joy it was when they purchased a home there and became part of our Community. And may I mention that it wasn't just any home....Shirley and I always said we had the best two homes in our neighborhood, as they were the only two homes with the Very Best floor plan!
Only their home became even more Special as Tom added his workshop where he enjoyed sharing his craft & talent.
In knowing Tom and Shirley, I also had the pleasure of spending time with there two amazing daughters, Pam & Penny. ...who remind me very much of Tom....Wonderfully Caring, Brutal Honest, and Lots and of Lots Fun!!!
My husband and I have recently moved to Utah to be closer to family. But during this Beautiful Christmas Season , our Hearts are reminded of those Dear friends back in NY.
Dear Shirley, Pam, Penny Tom Jr & Molly
We are Sending Hugs & Love during this difficult time,
Know that You are in our Thoughts and Prayers.
"God Bless," Love & Miss You ,
