Although not totally unexpected, we did get a call from Aunt Kaye that Tom has passed. To make sure, we called the convalescent hospital and they confirmed he died peacefully in his sleep at 3:00 PM today.
We rode the range together for seventy two years. It was a good ride! He will be sadly missed by those who knew him.

We finally got “cleaned up” and went to Patty’s Place for an hour or so. Paul did his favorite prawns wrapped in bacon while Sue did the twice baked potatoes. We chatted with the locals and came home about 8:00 PM.
We were going to call Tom but there was a message on the answering machine. Gayla informed us that Tom has passed at 3:00 PM. We were crushed and finally just went to bed at 10:30 PM.
