Oh No... Kathy, I feel so sad for you. Your family has had way too many trials. I am praying for that to stop and God will now shower your family with nothing but Blessings. The next few years are going to be hard... We will Pray that tears will quickly turn to Laughter when you think of some of the funny things Tom used to say or Do. Maybe it will help to know that Tom & your Dad are having a happy Family Reunion With Christ as the Host. Keep busy and be with your family and fiends as much as you can ...you may have to force your self at first but it will help you through this. We all Love you Kathy, From Your Cousin Vonnie (Veronica A.)
