IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Tom, word for word, and the lines it became.

Who he was
Smart Friendly computer geek… Independent loving hardworking
In the song 0:18My independent thinker, the smartest I've seen
A computer geek with a hardworking drive
With the friendliest, funniest man in this town
-
His legacy
family oriented, funny, self motivated
In the song 0:39Self-motivated, steady and true
With the friendliest, funniest man in this town
You were family-oriented, right from the start
-
A memory
Loved music, politics, his family, going to movies with him on a beautiful day
In the song 1:32We’d talk about politics, argue and smile
Put on some music and just sit for a while
But my favorite moments, the ones I replay
Are going to the movies on a beautiful day
-
What she misses
I miss his gregarious laugh, soft brown eyes, his hugs, his opinions with life
In the song 0:12Soft brown eyes looking up from the screen
Oh, Tom, I miss your gregarious laugh
Your opinions on life and your steady, clear path
I miss the deep comfort of your loving hugs
-
Her message to him
Thank you for the love and support for me and our son Nick
In the song 1:18Thank you for all of the support that you gave
To me and to Nick, every step of the way
-
Her message to him
I wish you could meet Nicks fiancé Rainy She’s a beautiful lady
In the song 3:05I wish you could meet Rainy, the girl by his side
She’s a beautiful lady, his soon-to-be bride
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIITom’s story
Tom was smart, friendly and funny, a hardworking, self-motivated computer geek. He was independent, loving and family oriented.
He loved music, politics and his family. She remembers going to the movies with him on a beautiful day.
She misses “his gregarious laugh, soft brown eyes, his hugs, his opinions with life.”
“Thank you for the love and support for me and our son Nick”
What she wrote to him
She wishes he could meet their son Nick’s fiancée, Rainy.
Tom had brain cancer, but his song is about the man he was before they knew. “I didn’t hear anything about his pain and his suffering,” she says.
She is waiting to share it with Nick in person when he comes at Christmas. She plans to share it on the day of Tom’s passing, the day before Christmas Eve.
