Mrs. Suerth, I am sorry to hear about Mr. Suerth passing away. My deepest sympathys. I forget about these online guest books. You always did have the best basement to sneak a beer and play pool much to Tom's dismay. You would sing in the car with all the rockin music of the eighties. We always thought you were the hippest Mom, plus you liked to embarass Mike when he was hanging with his buddies. Our deepest sympathys Peter Hulne and family

So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. Have not been in touch with him since St. Gertrude's but my Aunt Esther use to see him once in a while in Skokie out by the fire station and always let me know. Our sincere condolences.
