Dear Fran, Tommy and Dana
Marie and I are deeply sorry for your terrible loss. Words cannot adequately describe this pain, as I speak from my first hand experience. Yet another beautiful debutante has lost her precious dad. Please accept our condolences as we were unable to attend the services. May the angels welcome him home and you be given comfort and peace in your family love.

God bless all of you
Therese and Marie

To the family of Tom Nolan,
We are so sorry to hear the news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We have many good memories of Tom from the days of Hiawatha sports and SFB. He will be missed.
Sincerely,
The Zachar Family

I am so sorry to here about this most unfortunate news. We take for granted that family friendships will always be around. Tommy was one of favorite childhood memories (like another brother). Know that my whole family loved him very much and we send our deepest condolences to Frannie and family.

Dear Franny & kids,
I never thought in a million years I would hear this horrible news from Jenene when she called. I still cant believe what I heard. Tommy was a wonderful guy. He lived life to its fullest. He loved making everyone laugh. I will never forget all the fun times at the Galaxy when we all hung out there. Even to this day Tommy loved his Friday nights out!! He loved First Fridays at the Clubhouse. He had so much fun always running into some of his old friends there. He enjoyed talking about old times. It was always nice running into him and Dana at the jewelry show together. You never would see any fathers there with their daughters accept for Tommy, he said he loved taking her there. And he had to stop to get his cologne!! He loved talking to his old friends and his new friends. He always made sure to send out a bulk text to everyone in his phone book during all the holidays. Just to wish everyone a great day. He was always so thoughtful. He loved talking about his Franny, and his two beautiful children that made him so PROUD!! May you cherish all the wonderful times and memories you have of him to help get you through each day. He will forever be in your hearts and has become your guardian angel. He will always be with you.

My deepest condolences and thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Donna DeBoni Scholl

To the Nolan Family, my deepest condolences. Tom was a wonderful man, he and I went through the academy together he was always helpful and made going to the academy a pleasure! He will be missed.

To Tom;
A true friend is one who knows all about you and likes you anyway, truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. I will not forget you!
So for now my memories will have to do, for you and I will meet again, when we're least expecting it.
One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. RIP Tom.

On behalf of the Benevolence Committee, we are deeply sorry to hear about Thomas’ passing. If there is any way we can assist all of you during this time of healing, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of us.

Frannie & all Tommy's loved ones,

I will always remember Tommy as a great man who lived his life to the fulliest. I will always cherish the memories we all made together as we grew up. As we got older our lives went in different directions but our hearts never let go of all of our friendship. As you know Frannie my heart is broken once again for the loss of Tommy. This is like a nightmare that I would never wish on anyone. Remember the love you have for each other and your children and that will get you to the next day. Losing the love of our life is so hard but as we all know life goes on within our children. It is breaking my heart that you and I have lost great men but they two shall be together in heaven. God had a plan for Tommy and Joey and one day we shall all meet again but until then know I'm here for you and your children. Our chain has been broken but we will reconnect that chain when it is our time. Until then please feel free to call me when ever you need a friend for I feel your pain more than anyone. Remember Joey will keep him laughing like the old days.

Love you,
Donna Contraveos
