Cathy and family,
Sorry I wasn't able to stop by the funeral home to express my condolensces. I know it's been a long time, but I wanted you to know that I remember your dad. The whole family was very kind to me back in the day when I was just punk kid. I think back fondly to a little dance party we had at the house in Oak Park. I just wanted you all to know I'm very sorry for your loss. May peace be with all of you.

Vivian, Cathy, and Family -
I am so sorry to hear about Tom's passing and want you to know that your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers now and in the coming days and weeks! I cannot imagine not seeing Tom in the pick-up line after school or driving around Urbandale! He was a wonderful guy with a great sense of humor and I will miss (yet remember fondly) the teasing that he and I used to do whenever we saw each other! Heaven gained a great guy with a great sense of humor...and I consider myself lucky to have gotten to know him over the past four years!
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in the coming days.
