Tommy…
My first new friend on Monroe Avenue. Fishing buddy, tree fort builder, late summer night master of “up and down tag” between the telephone poles on our street, and designer of a glider wing that almost got us airborne. Too many memories to ever share. Thanks for all those great times with our friends on the block.
Donna, Monica, Mr. Riccio, you’re in my prayers. I love you.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss and pain and wanted to share the Bible’s hope of a resurrection at John 5:28,29 at a time when there is no more sickness pain or death right here on earth according to Revelation 21:3,4. May the god of comfort give you comfort by means of the scriptures in this time of bereavement.
