Little Mary,
My heart is broken for you. The relationship you two shared, from the moment you met, was always "the gold standard" for me, but one I never quite achieved. You guys set the bar "too high".
I can't imagine the pain of loss that you must be experiencing. Knowing that he was a faithful, loving husband, a great father, and a good and caring man can provide some comfort but never replace his voice, his wit or the joy he brought to those who came in contact with him.
The generosity with his time, talent and funds in helping Tim should have gotten him a few hundred extra points at the Pearly Gates, but I am sure that was only one case in thousands where his charitable heart "overflowed". Take solace in the fact that he was a good man who led a good life and will never be forgotten by those who knew him.
I wish I could be there to grieve with you but my daughter is flying in from LA this week and we have irreversible plans. I will pray for you and John but I am sure he is firmly settled in, somewhere close to THE BIG GUY. Love and WONDERFUL memories, Tom
