Shari, Jim, John and Michelle and families. I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I have such great memories of growing up with you guys and the times we had. Janet was such a great aunt and always went out of her way to make sure everyone was happy, safe and having a good time.
I apologize for not making it to the memorial service and funeral. I am fighting stage IV metastatic melanoma and had an infusion of Avelumab, one of the cancer drugs I have been using on Tuesday. I don't feel very well for a few days afterward and was just too run down to make it.
My wife Patti and I and my kids are thinking about you and are sending positive energy and thoughts your way.
Take care, your cousin Tom.
