Memories and Condolences
for Thomas Green

Not sure what to say?





June 4, 2013

The world will be a sad place without Tom Greens smile and beautiful eyes.
Tom was a father and son at the age of SIX. That's when I met him. Yes age six, not a type-o.
A care taker so early on, setting his life tasks.
When I see him now in my mind, I rememeber only the little boy, not the man who took on parenting of parents, fathering of a sister and of course brothering of all he encountered.
I guess we are given only so much to give and when that runs out so does our physical body.
Thank you Tom for your heart, your art and those beautiful eyes..I shall always remember you.

To your children and grandchildren and parents always remember his love for you.

Sincerely, Anne Rebello lucky friend to have know you!

I can't even begin to explain how sorry i am to all of you. When i started working at the cafe i never knew i would end up having a second family. Tom was always there for me when i was having a hard time dealing with issues with my son. He was the voice of reason and always helped me by suggesting the right thing to do. My heart is broken. I couldn't believe how much they were there for me. Things will never be the same at the cafe.
I will miss you tom so very much. My heart goes out to all of your family and friends.
Love Barbara

Dear Mr Shalvoy, I am so sorry for your loss. You and Mr. Green brightened the world with your cafe. You were both so very kind to my elderly parents who frequented your cafe. I remember how generous and kind you both were to my mom as her dementia worsened. You and your family are in my prayers and I send my deepest condolences to you. Pat (a loyal cafe customer)
