   DEAR BOB,

   OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS HAVE BEEN WITH YOU SINCE WE LEARNED OF TOMMY’S PASSING. PLEASE KNOW THAT WE WILL BE HOLDING YOU VERY CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS TOMORROW WHEN YOU MEMORIALIZE HIM, AND EACH DAY AFTER AS YOU DEAL WITH YOUR SORROW.

   WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO OFFER OUR CONDOLENCES TO LORI, NO MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE SUCH HEARTACHE, AND TO TOMMY’S CHILDREN GABE, AND CORTNEY, AND GRANDCHILD, WE WISH YOU COMFORT AS YOU MOURN YOUR LOSS. TAKE PRIDE IN THE LEGACY OF LOVE THAT YOUR FATHER LEAVES BEHIND, HE WAS A REMARKABLY KIND HUMAN BEING, SUCH AN ASSET IN A WORLD WHERE CYNICISM, AND BAD BEHAVIOR SEEM TO BE ON THE RISE. TOMMY HAD A GENTLE, QUIET PRESENCE ABOUT HIM, A WARMTH, AND WHEN HE SMILED, IT WASN’T JUST A MECHANICAL MOVEMENT OF HIS MOUTH, HIS EYES, AND HIS BODY LANGUAGE DREW YOU IN SIMULTANEOUSLY, YOU KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT HE WAS SOMEONE SPECIAL.

   WE HAVE BEEN REFLECTING BACK ON OUR WONDERFUL MEMORIES, ESPECIALLY OF OUR LARGE FAMILY REUNIONS IN CAPE. ALL OF US TOGETHER AT NANNY’S HOUSE, THE WINNEBAGO PARKED OUT FRONT IN THE DRIVEWAY, NEVER A DULL MOMENT…. THE ENDLESS HOURS OF CONVERSATION THAT WENT ON, SUN UP TO SUN DOWN, THE FAINT RYTHYM OF A VOLLEYING PING PONG BALL IN THE BACKGROUND, EVERY SO OFTEN GROWING LOUDER AS THE BASEMENT DOOR OPENED TO ADMIT ONE MORE, OR IN SOME CASES ALLOW ONE OF US TO ESCAPE. NANNY UPSTAIRS, HOLDING COURT IN HER CHAIR, GRACING US ALL WITH HER ELEGANCE, AND ELOQUENCE, A RICH BLEND OF COMMON SENSE, AND WISDOM…AN ABUNDANCE OF KINDNESS, AND LOVE……. THAT’S WHAT WE HAVE ALL SHARED WITH EACH OTHER, AND AS EACH BELOVED SOUL PASSES FROM OUR CIRCLE OF FAMILY, AND FRIENDS TO EMBARK ON THEIR PERSONAL JOURNEY BEYOND WHAT WE KNOW HERE ON EARTH, WE WILL HAVE THOSE CHERISHED MEMORIES TO DRAW FROM, UNTIL OUR TIME COMES TO BE REUNITED ONCE AGAIN….TOMMY IS IN LOVING HANDS

   LOVE,

   SHAYE, TARA, LAUREN, DANA, SHERRY,
   JORY, DEBBIE, AND,
   MOM, AND DAD

   Gabriel, Cortney: I am so sorry about the passing of your dad. Even though it has been a long time since I have seen him, I will always remember him as a fun, loving and all around great person. He will be missed by so many. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Kristi

   Gabe, Courtney and Lucas,
   I’m sure you guys don’t remember me but I’m your Mother’s 1st cousin. Aunt Joann’s daughter. I’m so sorry to hear of Tom’s death. So very young. We had only meet a couple times, but he had made a real impression. God Bless and keep you
