December 8, 2018 at 5:31 pmI am so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. Although it is many, many years since I babysat for you, I have such fond memories of you all. I was always so happy to run into Tom and Gail on visits to my family and I have continued to receive updates on everyone from my father. Tom will be sorely missed by him.
