My Uncle Tom was one of the kindest, most compassionate person I have ever known. His friendly, loving spirit will forever live on in my heart. It wasn't that long ago that Uncle Tom spent an evening with all the McIntoshes, and we caught up on all the family happenings. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Julie and Tommy, during this most difficult time. Be assured that your Dad was loved deeply by me.
With my deepest sympathy,
Betsy (Taylor) McIntosh
