  1. Dawn,
    My thoughts and prayers have been with you throughout the day. I know the pain that you must be going through at this time and the uncertainty in the days ahead. I know that you enriched Tom’s life in so many ways and that you were always there for him. May all the good memories sustain you in the weeks ahead.

  2. One special man whom Ron and I enjoyed. We are with you dawn and so glad we shared this day with you. Rest In Peace Tom

  3. Dawn: I am sorry for your loss. I remember Tom training him at KCOS. Great student and followed him when he started training in Urology.
