Carla, Linda and Mark,
We are so sorry for the loss of your father. I have thought about ‘Uncle Tom’ often and had meant to call him just last week but didn’t get around to making the call. I now deeply regret this. He will be greatly missed. I hope you can at least take comfort in knowing he is again with Dot and his brothers who all loved him very much.
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family’s.
Scott, Vicky, Nick and Jaclyn Schommer
