Edna Livasy lit a candle

“Tom, When I think I cannot cry any more tears, I learn of your passing. You always loved to tell me that you hired me cause “no one else showed up to the interview.” You called me “clown.” You were the best! You were a friend and you cared. You would stay connected with me no matter where I moved. No matter how I tried to sound, you knew who I was. I could never fool you. I loved you as a friend and you filled that void of a dad whether you knew it or not. I will miss you forever. I will keep your voice inside my heart. Knowing you are with the angels and listening like my mom and giving me the strength to get through. In loving memory of Thomas Peter Gage, Sharing in your sorrow. With love and friendship. Edna (Fitzsimmons) Livasy”
