Gods band of angels were present....and your Tom was watching....happy and healthy and strong...and proud that 42 wonderful, caring people came to say goodbye...Tom saw more than you could ever see.... altho I'm sure you were who he was missing most.. Take care of yourself Lois... some days it gets better, and other days it hurts as if it were fresh... You will make it my new friend...and you will join him oneday...but in the meantime.... focus on today...and those who LOVE YOU and NEED YOU.... I'm sure that number is also more than 42.... hugs, lindalaw
