To Karen & Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Tom.
Although I didn't know Him that well, the time I was in His company he always made me feel welcome.
Karen, I could see what love he had for his little Sister as he did for his whole Family.
We want to express our sympathy to You all.
You are all in our thoughts.
Love, Steve & Debbie Savage

To the McMahon family,
I am so sorry to learn of Tommy's passing. This sad news brought back so many fond memories of my childhood growing up on Crillon Road. Tommy was such a big part of it; playing marbles, flipping cards, riding bikes, swimming in the lake, riding to school every day with Uncle Joe, sliding down Belcourt and the snow ball fights. We grew up and lost touch, but these memories of Tom will always be with me. I hope the wonderful memories you all have of Tom will also bring comfort to you during this time.
My sincere condolences,
Denise McMahon Hobin
