  6. Kathy and family I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son TOM jr and brother to your children. May his memory always be with you in your hearts. Our prayers are with you. Love, Pam and Joe CIAVARELLA. (Cousins)

  7. Kathy and family, my deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I saw Tom very recently and of course, he had a huge smile when we exchanged our “hellos”. I almost turned around to tell him that I was so happy he looked so good. When I got in my car, I thanked God for making him well. So when I learned of his passing, all I could think of was his HUGE smile. Guess God has a plan for all of us. We many not understand it or like it but we have to keep the faith and know that God knows best. Even knowing this, my heart breaks for you. I will continue to keep you in our prayers.

  8. Dearest Kathy and Family, Our deepest sympathy to you all at this time of loss! Our prayers and thoughts are with you , may he rest in peace!

  9. Dear Kathy, I am so saddened by your great loss — he was not only your son, but a close friend to you as well. My sympathy is not sufficient for what you are going through now. Just picture Tom in the arms of Jesus–what an amazing place to be–a place we all long to be one day. You are in my prayers, dear one.
