Dear Rosie, It is with deep sorrow that Gaby and I have heard of Tom's passing. He will always be remembered as a wonderful, compassionate and patient human being who, as you, was always ready to help and offer encouragement and support to those who needed it. We know first hand from him how much he cherished the love you gave him and how blessed he felt to have you in his life. He will no doubt remain in your heart forever and in that sense you can take solace that he will never really be gone.
