Carla, I am so sorry about Tom's passing. I hope you find the strength that you need. I know he was really your soul-mate. It will not be the same coming to St Louis and not seeing you guys together, but he is with our Lord and he was ready for him to come home. Take care and God Bless you and your family. Love, Mary Ann (Tammy's cousin)

Tracy and Barney,

We wish we could be there with you.



Carla,

We are terribly sorry for your loss. Though we only met you and Tom twice, Barney and Tracy often spoke about you and we felt we were all a part of the same big family. We were looking forward to your visit here next week (I was going to cook more meatballs), and we are saddened that we will not see Tom again in our earthly life. You and all of Tom's family are in our thoughts and prayers.
