MISSING TOM
A couple of years ago, we celebrated my 75th birthday with a Alice in Wonderland theme. Our dear friend Tom from Texas came as the Mad Hatter and the role fit him perfectly! My dearest and Tom have been best friends for over 45 years and spoke on the phone several times a week. Over the years Tom experienced two strokes, which he recovered from, then recently he had open heart surgery. It was a tough go for several months, but then like Tom, he bounced back and was doing well. In fact he was planning to move to California in a few weeks, when he was called home to heaven. We were shocked and saddened with this loss, but can only rejoice in the life he lived, the joy and laughter he brought to everyone he met, and the generous love he gave my dearest and me over these many years. Tom, you are missed! You will always be in our hearts.
