Just wanted to thank everyone for the out pouring of support, prayers and kind words during the past 5 weeks. The past 5 weeks have been both the worst and best weeks of my life. The worst because my Dad lost his battle with cancer and passed on his 68th birthday. The best because I was able to spent the last 3 weeks of his life with him. I am truly blessed that I was able to spend that time with him. My dad and I have always been really close and I looked at him not only as my farther but as my best friend and mentor and talked about anything and everything. But the things we talked about the last three weeks were priceless and I’ll remember the rest of my life. So again I thank everyone for their support, prayers and patience the past month. I also want to thank Andy for his understanding and support as this left him buried during a very busy time. I’ll be back in the saddle full time Weds or Thursday and will have all pm’s, emails and phone calls returned by the weekend. Again thanks and have a great week.
Tom.
