I was so saddened to learn of Uncle Tommy's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had the words to make this time easier for you. I know that my Mother adored Uncle Tommy. She told me many times what a good person he was. I only wish that I had had the opportunity to know him. Melanie Fay (Clara's daughter)
