Dear Gail, I saw your dad’s obituary in the paper and had to send you a note. I am so very sorry for your loss. I have thought of you and your family over the years and hope you remember some of the good times we had when we were very much younger. Teri & I talk about Tommy a lot and the times he & T.J. had together. Take care and please accept my condolences. Your dad was a good man. Joei Smith Mosier
