Dear Rose,
I had heard that Tom took a turn for the worse, but I wasn't at all expecting to see this. Saying I'm Sorry doesn't even begin to cover what I am feeling right now. Tom had this uncanny ability to light up a room by just being himself. I am fairly sure you know how I felt about Tom, but I wanted you to know that those feelings were also carried over to you. It not only was a pleasure taking care of Tom and getting to know you, it was an Honor. Tom was a remarkable man, and you are a truly remarkable woman. I said earlier that saying "I'm Sorry" doesn't even begin to convey the emotions that came to me while reading his Obit. I bid you Peace and Love, Rose. I bid all of you healing and light.

I offer my heartfelt condolences to family and friends. I have wonderful memories of Tommy and am saddened to learn of his passing.
Through the years, I have lost contact with Jacqui and would love to reconnect.
I was home for the funeral of my stepdad when I saw the notice in the paper. Again, my deepest condolences.
