Prayers to Tom's family. he was so loved and respected. nothing in the world will ever be able to replace him. I hope I never forget how his blonde face would crinkle up in laughter, or the twinkle in his blue eye as he'd embark on a tale from his Army days, or delight in recalling his daughter Tina, or son Keith. he will be missed, always.

Prayers to mr. zippy's papa, in hospital for a biopsy on a large mass in his lung, only to have his lung collapse. so far so good, but the biopsy results aren't back yet.
