Dear Rosalinda,
Tom was my first friend in the 1st grade at Mission Dolores and we remained close through high school. My prayers and thoughts are for Tom, that he is at peace, and for you and the entire family.
I am in Colorado these days and will be unable to attend the funeral service. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

So sorry to hear of Tom's death.
He is and all the family will be in
my thoughts and prayers. Won't be able
to attend the Mass -- I am home with a
terrible cold and wouldn't want to spread it to anyone. I'll be there
in spirit.
Love,
Brietta McEntee Marken
