Mary, I was very saddened for you and your family after hearing the news of Tom's sudden and unexpected death. He was always a kind and fun loving guy as I remember him as a classmate from St. Patrick's and St. Catherine's. I also remember the fun we had being together to celebrate our 60th Birthday's just a couple years ago. I am so happy we had that opportunity to share memories and good times together. I have a picture of Tom with the rest of the gang from St. Patrick's who attended the event and hopefully can find it and send you a copy. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Mary, as you deal with the loss of your spouse and best friend. Peace and Love, Judy Venne Ballard
