Its been a long time since brother Thom went to his rest and not a day goes by that I don't think about him and hear his infectious laugh! I spend my days working for the good of the homeless and remembering all that was taught to me by my brother.When I retire I will spend my life working w/ the elderly as my brother encouraged me to do...God Bless You Brother until we meet again and pray for me.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
