Dear Hilda & Marian,
I knew Tom from the very beginning of the Liberation Choir and found him to be very gentle, caring and kind. His voice will be forever missed from our choir but he is now singing with the angels above. It is especially difficult at this time of year but do take comfort in your family and friends during this time. With heartfelt sympathy to you both. God Bless.
