To all the Scully's - what a beautiful mass today - Tom - I have NEVER enjoyed a eulogy more than I did today - it was fantastic! Perhaps you should consider hanging up your suspenders from the Fire Department and start writing and delivering "Tell it like it is and was" eulogies - job well done! I have been smiling and laughing all day because of your send off to your mom.
