To the Merschantz Family. It's been one year since Tom's been gone and we still think of him being here with us. It's hard to believe he is gone but our memories still keep him alive. The Minnesota/Pine Lake years and the years living next door to Cindy and Keith with Tom there every weekend still bring back the great times we all had together. To Tom and his Mom and Dad we still think of you. The Popovich Family of Michael, Kimberly, Justin, Nicole and Kyle.
