I am very sorry to learn of your loss. I had many nice conversations with Tom in the mornings while he would have his pumpkin slice and coffee at the Cafe while he awaited the train to work. He was always friendly and a pleasure to get to know over the past year. We will miss him.
All the best for his family.

My name is Joan Lofgren - I did not know Tom. But my heart is breaking for my friend, his sister, Nancy, and her entire family. A loss too great to comprehend or understand. Just reading the Guest Book entries shows me that Tom was his sister's brother -a wonderful person and someone who is now in God's loving fold.

Love and prayers to this hurting family. - Joan
