You and your family will remain in my prayers.
God bless and comfort,

PS I will miss his humor and spunk expressed in his blog.
I am so sad; my heart is aching. Please know he touched my heart, and has given me strength to face my own cancer. He will live forever by touching all our hearts, and leaving a bit of himself behind.

Can't get you off my mind...keeping you [You, Melissa, your boys and Tom's family] in my prayers.
Bless all of you,
Comrade L
A beautiful life gone far to soon. Love to you and your boys.
As a reader of this blog from far away, I can only infer from the brief post, and the context of the replies that have been posted, that Tom has succumbed to his disease. I've been checking this space regularly for any news. If anyone can confirm the facts of this, I'd be grateful.
In the meantime, my condolences, best wishes and prayers to the family.

It is the week before Christmas. Where the **** is my annual six-pack delivery of the good stuff? (Thinking of you, just like we said we always would.)
