We first met Tom and Pam at their wedding. We had to leave shortly after we got to the reception because of my father in laws heart condition. We exchanged Christmas cards with pictures of our kids. We connected again in 2013 during our drive up to Maine. Dorothy asked Tom and Pam to pick up donuts and those were delicious. Tom and his family took care of all Tom´s mother Dorothy for years prior to her passing. They brought Dorothy to Florida at the age of ninety and we had a great time. Family was and is the center of Tom and Pam´s life. They were gracious hosts and even welcomed our dog. Their. Children John and Samantha couldn´t been more gracious. Pam will have her family nearby to help her through the difficult days ahead. We are sorry for your loss. You were all fortunate to have a man who loved so fiercely and helped family and the community. We will be praying for you all in the days, weeks and months ahead.
