Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Our condolences during this difficult time
Although Tommy and I haven't been close cousins due to the West Coast distance, I was always struck by how warm and friendly he was every time we communicated by e-mail and the last time we saw each other around 2007. I miss him already, so I can only imagine how difficult it is for you Patti and the family to deal with the personal loss you feel right now and going forward.
We send you our sympathy, blessings and prayers as you go through the grieving process. Tommy certainly left a mark in this world, as we are all better for having known him.
Love to you all,
Sam and Connie De Froscia

Patti,
So sorry for your loss. Tom touched many people in the local community and his memory will live on in all of us. It was always enjoyable to talk about his experiences as he cut my hair. Whether it was your trips together, things with the Lodge or the good old days of Junior Miss - it always great to catch up. I will sincerely miss him.
