I will miss you Tom. May you rest in eternal peace with our Lord. You were my Usher, shared the same cubicle at work, played basketball on the same team for years, Godfather to my son, attended mass at HC and STM, a true friend. Condolences to Sandy. Paula and Michael who were flower girls and ring bearer on my wedding. "Unsay imong gibuhat"? You know what that means.
