Janet, Tom, Julie, Brian, Lisa, Julie, & families, Hearts are breaking all over. Big Tom, aka Papa, epitomized the meaning of a true family man. He extended that love to so many that he called family. He was a legend. My prayer for all of you is that your faith in God will give you strength to endure the days and weeks ahead and one day soon your memories bring a smile to your face. He will live on in his children and grandchildren's hearts forever. God Bless.
