Blanca,
Just came home from Tom's funeral I'm sorry I could not stay for the full time- so many memories and faces were there. I'm sorry I did not check my e-mail sooner. As you know My Tom and your Tom shared the same birthday month wise. Your Tom would have been 60 on May 20 and use to kid me about being the "older one", as I turned 60 in March. We both would kid my Tom about being the old man, as he will be 63. I will miss your Tom as I know you and your kids and other friends will. I don't talk a lot but I always felt comfortable with Tom and he supported be through a lot of trials in my life. I'm glad he renewed his vows with you. He told me that when I saw him at the hospital. He would call me last year and shared that you were having problems and it was breaking his heart. You should always remember he really, really loved You. He told me he wanted to take you to Paris and any place your heart desired. He was so proud of your sons and the rest of your family. When I lost my brother last year he said he could not image being the only person left from a family. He and my Tom shared stories about their father's and their disease of Alzheimer. I remember him and you on our boat and how he didn't want to put sunblock on and how sunburn he got, but still would not admit it. I remember taking care of your pug when you got married until another person took over because I was going to Kansas and then she lost it. He told me he guess it was his payback for losing Wynona. I told him no things happen. He was proud of you and your family. He kidded me last year when my Tom rescued 3 kittens from the desert making our total 6 cats that I was following in his tracks of becoming a "Cat Lady". Please keep in touch and if you need help I offer you honestly anything I can do. Keep my telephone number and my e-mail. May God Bless you and your family Deb and Tom Mennig.
