I will always remember when Rosie and I and Michael were on our way to take Rosie to the hospital to Tucson, Az. Thomas stayed until we left walking Rosie out and making sure she was ready to go, I then knew how much he loved my sister in law. When my brother Danny was in hospital he too was there supporting my bother Danny I will never forget you Thomas you were a good man you were always there when we needed you. We will miss you!
