Tommy, I am so sorry to hear of Janet's and your loss. I only recently found out and have wanted to call you but struggled with what to say. There are no words to express how how badly I feel. As a father myself, I can only imagine image what you and Janet are feeling. I know how proud you are of Jennifer and her accomplishments in her all too short life. Stay strong and find comfort in Janet, Joe and TJ. We love you brother.
