Mimi - I remember you telling that when you & Tom were married, Tom gave all of you (Mirah & the twins) wedding rings. He truly is special. May God give you a sweet kiss on the cheek today. Love you. Elliott

Noreen and Jerry Wheeless

Such a loving family-such a difficult occurrence to live through. Jerry, my husband said he remembers working with Tom on the ramp and how they got everything done with minimum staff and lots of hard work. George always spoke highly of MiMi and Tom both at TSA and at Costco. Words are so inadequate at a time like this-what we know is that time is precious and life is for the living. The pictures show how Tom loved life and those who were a part of his life. God Bless you Tom and to the family whom you loved. You will be missed today and always. Hugs to your family and friends.

I enjoyed seeing all the photos. The silly, playful, loving personality of Tommy comes through loud and clear. I also saw a resemblance to his father like I'd never seen before, especially the photo of him in the Michigan sweatshirt and a few others. Seeing him full of life and so happy just makes the loss that much more real... and difficult.

I'm sadden to hear of the loss of such a great man. I had the pleasure to work with Tom, on the ramp, for many years and he always had a smile on his face. I am praying for you and your family to find peace during this difficult time.
