Our deepest sympathies on the loss of our Uncle Tom. He will be missed dearly.
I feel like an important link has been lost to my Mom, and the rest of the Graziano clan of that generation, but now, thankfully, they are all together again, and we miss them all.
I am so thankful for the visit this summer along with my sister Anita, and the opportunity to spend time and have dinner with Tom and Barb. I will treasure it, and the family pictures and insights shared that day forever.
May our thoughts and prayers comfort you in your time of sorrow,
