Karen I am so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I will always remember the fun times I had with Tom and his great sense of humor. I am sure this is hard on Marie Paul Gary and Mary Ann. This is a tough time in any families lives but time has a way of getting us thru these hard times. God bless all of you. Jim Thomas
