Thank you for getting in touch with me so I could come and see my dear friend and be able to say a very meaningful good-by to him. Life takes us down all kinds of pathways, and we aren't always sure why we do the things we do or don't do. I am sincerely sorry I did not keep in better touch with Tom. We met 50 years ago, and shared our families and dreams and then just went our own ways. He was a sincere gentleman, friend, and parent, and artist. Our friendship did make a difference in my life. So thank you Tom! Love you always...Shirley
