I was not aware that Ann had passed. She was a wonderful supervisor of mine at Catholic Charities and I will always remember her. She touched many. Tom, while I have not seen you nor Ann in many years, I´ve heard of what an incredible husband you were to her during her decline. Much gratitude and praying for God`s comfort for you.

I am sorry to hear of Mary´s passing. Her Alzheimer´s was a long, long journey to the end. Tom spoke very highly of her and he took care of her as long as he could. I am saddened for your family Tom. Your sons came to visit as often as they could. Peace to you all.
