Memories & condolences

Personal note from Sara and Diana

Dad, I love and miss you so much. I continue to want to send you silly photos of my dog and cat and pick up the phone to call you while I fold laundry, but I can't. We would text almost daily and talk to each other on the phone weekly. I miss you so much it physically hurts but I know you are still with me. I will forever keep your spirit and legacy alive by being kind and loving towards others. You were the best dad I could have asked for and one of my favorite people on this earth.
-Sara

Tom, it only took 50 years to finally meet you. In my note to you on our wedding day, I called you my “true miracle”. You vowed to be “my best friend and closest soul mate” and you lived up to that promise in so many ways. You brought all of us strength when we were weak. You showed us how to see light when it was dark. Our extended family is the greatest gift and we will cherish it always. All our love, “Today, Tomorrow, and Forever”.

Your loving wife, Diana
