Just found out about these photo's and went through them..so many beautiful memories. They will last forever for the family. Living next door to them and seeing the kids grow into their own as wonderful loving parents. I ask myself were does time go? Sharon and Tom were my family too..loving wonderful neighbors and good friends that I felt safe with. You could not even begin to know the loving and trusting friends that I called family and Love. Thank you with all my heart. Love you and will miss beyond belief Tom. Love you my GF Sharon. Recover and and I will always be there for you.
