I´m sorry I was able to be with you for the memorial. I was unable to get out of a previous commitment.
I´ve always loved your dad.
I´m happy I was able to visit with him when he was in the area 2 years ago. Please accept my condolences in the loss of such a precious father.

Cousin Tommy will always be in our hearts. I may not be able to attend because I need someone to stay with Don due to his illness. We have sent a memorial gift to the American Lung Association. We hope you know that we hold Tommy in our hearts.
