Danny ,Theresa and all your family, I am so very sorry for the loss of your family gem! Im thinking of you all❣
Pat and family, we are so sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. He was a great man and neighbor. He will be sorely missed, we loved when Pat would leave for a little while and he would bring out the ladder and do something he shouldn’t be doing. Then hurry to put the ladder back before she got home.
Rest In Peace “dad”
