Nancy, Joe, and family,
I’m so very sorry for your loss, seeing you all just a few short months ago I’m so glad I was able to see Tom. Him and my dad and now hanging out and waiting for the rest of us to join them. I’m glad he is no longer suffering, he’s your guardian angel now. I will miss the funeral as my son has a football game on Sat. in Mankato at noon. I will be thinking of you all! (((( hugs ))))
It was an honor to be part of his care team and to meet all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you
