Condolence: In the 7 years I had with this man he taught me so much. He taught me patience and strength. In many ways I thought I knew these, but he opened my eyes to see them in a new way. His parents showed me unconditional love by welcoming this stranger that their son loved with open arms and open hearts. I have been apart from Tom for 10 years but I still think about him daily. I think I can stop worrying now, he's in better hands. My heart aches, it aches for his family. There has been so much time wasted.
