So Thomas is with us no longer. In the sadness there is however room for happiness, happiness that I knew Thomas; happiness that we spent many great days together; happiness for the many visits to Timmy’s, for the long conversations about everything and nothing. Yes, we must regret his passing but also celebrate his time with us.
Farewell my good friend.
