Very Dear Tom,

We miss you – a thoughtful, considerate, generous and loving person and an absolutely brilliant friend to both of us, for so much of our lives. Someone moved to action in individual and larger settings, wherever you saw injustice and oppression; being a change-maker in attitudes and procedures. You shared a couple of life lessons with me (Pat), enabling better understandings in personal and professional relationships. And you had such a great laugh.

You live on whenever we’re with Gill, Ben and Sam; you live on in our thoughts, our words, our actions; and you live on always in our love.
