Mary, Christopher and Alexis,
Tom was a great man, he was loved by so many and I have so many wonderful memories of him in my life. I cannot remember my life without Tom in it. Mary, you and Tom started dating when I was very young, and I remember thinking when he first came to our house, he is so quiet, and all I could think was how is this sweet , quiet guy going to fit into our large, loud and crazy family. He was a perfect fit to us, and we to him. You both would come every Saturday to do your laundry, while Mary washed the clothes, Tom taught me to play monopoly, chess, backgammon and many other games, we both shared a love of reading and throughout our lives we would talk books and exchange books from wherever I was in the World. We went to movies on Saturdays, you always bought me tootsie pops for the show. When I was on leave from the Army I would always stay at your house, Tom you always got me to make you lasagna, and you would take me to breakfast and we would catch up. You were such a wonderful brother and I will miss you deeply. RIP Tom. Love Pat
