Grace and family, So sad to hear of Tom's death. I went to Seneca with him. He will be truly missed by all because he was such a caring and giving person. He left us too soon. Just know he will now be waiting for us when our time comes. It is so painful now so think of good times and even though the hurting will always be , there your love will help you deal with the shock of losing him so sudden.( I too lost my husband suddenly.)
