Dear Tommy, Pat, and family,
We are so sorry we cannot be with you at this time, but I'm sure Suzanne has told you about Daddy's bypass surgery to save his left leg due to a major blockage in his left thigh on Christmas Eve. He is still in rehab at Sheltering Arms South and will be there until this Saturday for sure. I am due there shortly and expect to have a meeting with his therapist to discuss his needs when he comes home. He and your father were really close and talked often on the phone. He was a great and extremely kind man who was blessed with a wonderful and long life. God bless you all at this difficult time and as you go forward.
Love, Louise and Wilfred

Tom's family:

I worked with and for Tom at the post office. He always remembered my name and always had a listening ear and a smile. He was a fine man. I know he will be missed. I hope you will take some comfort in knowing that we have the promise of being reunited with those we love.

Tommy and Pat:

We were sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Even though ninety three years is amazing, it is difficult to lose a parent no matter what age they live to be.

We will be thinking of you.

I really enjoy working with Mr.Kidd for the few days that I did watch over him. You have a beautiful family and just know that he is in a better place now. Now he's resting with a smile on his face, watching over those that knew and loved him much!
