A very special thank-you to all the many nurses, Doctors and PSW's who looked after Tom over the many years.  A heartfelt thank-you to his long time specialist Dr. Dianne Lougheed in Kingston General Hospital. The Lord Fished you from us, but you shall suffer no more.  You left a mark that everyone will not forget.
