My husband, Tom passed away at home Feb. 7th.  Paramedics came and took him to hospital and he was pronounced at 12:01 A.M.
He was 96 years old.  He had his last birthday with us in Las Vegas last October.

I'm doing O.K.  We have been married for 61 years.  And good years, they were.  Would do the same thing again, and neither of us had any regrets.

My husband and I will always remember you and Tom as being one of the highlights of the IHD get together a couple of years ago!  I am so sad to hear about Tom but am happy that the two of you got to spend so much time on this earth together.  You both are in my thoughts.

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.

Thank you, everyone.  yes, I have such good memories.  We traveled together, made music together, me on the piano and Tom on the accordian.  We lwere very happy together.

It is a comfort to believe that Tom is in heaven  with our two boys, Tommy and Robin.
