Joan, I remember the first time you and Tom came into my office and all the laughs we have had over the years. I think about the time when you had to make a decision on "how" to keep Tom "safe", and how hard that was. But most of all I think of all the love and care you had for Tom. I will miss him too, Joan. Take care and know that my door is always open for you.
