And so, what started for Lou and me as an intellectual endeavor became an emotionally more difficult task — namely, soliciting and editing «Going
Home: Memories
of Tom,» submitted by the late Molly Warner Lien, Tom's former colleague at Chicago - Kent College
of Law, as well as Clinton W. Shinn, his colleague at ASL.4 Anyone who reads those memorials
of Tom will remember his kindness,
warmth, and sense
of humor — and those who didn't know him will gain a beautiful and
true picture
of the kind soul that he was, and will be inspired by his work and his passion for his family, school, community... and Texas.
I can hear the sounds
of Christmas music and the crackling
of the fireplace, I can smell the cookies and candles, I can see the beauty
of the
home, I can feel the
warmth of love that flows through this
home and I can especially feel the
true meaning
of Christmas that is in the
home no matter what time
of the year... the Love this family has for Jesus Christ!
* What a
TRUE DELIGHT to enjoy ALL
of this, your charming writing style, your two «oh - so - precious» blessings AND a
warmth one doesn't see everyday... I've always known I would «like» you as a person... now I SEE WHY, in your
home....
