We may not be hearing from our dear OT for a while. His wife, Suzy, lost her Mother. They've been worried about her health for several months. She died in her daughters arms yesterday morning. While OT may not be writing much, I think he'll still be checking in with his "forum family" now and then. Please join with us in our prayers for this wonderful family at this difficult time...

Thank you everyone for your kind notes of sympathy and prayers. I wrote the below letter to my mother-in-law today and I'm sharing it with you all for good reasons. Sometimes we don't take the time to express our love and tell someone how much they mean to us until it's to late. Please read my letter and then call your mother, mother-in-law, father, or father-in-law and tell them how much they mean to you. Stella To my dear mother-in-law, Now that you have past I find so many things that I want to tell you and wish that I could have told you when you were still alive. I know that we had many different opinions about many topics but I always enjoyed talking, but mostly listening, to you about them, and many times to find out that you were right all along. I really did enjoy you telling me that I was your favorite son-in-law and I in turn telling you that you are my favorite mother-in-law and that is something that death can’t take away. Your love for me was like a cool breeze of wind, you don’t have to see it to know that it existed. I also wanted you to know how much I appreciated your support to your daughter, and grandchildren Michael and Brian with all of your love, guidance, and many time financial throughout the many years. Thank you for the 40 years of your life that you have shared with me. My life and life memories would not have been so enriched if it was not for you. Now go on and make others happy in this place called heaven and rest assure that you business here was a complete success. With much Love from your favorite son-in-law, Thomas OT

Tom, ya gotta know that she already knew how special your relationship was. After all, she let you marry her wonderful daughter... I'm a firm believer in what John Edward always says, to take the time to tell people NOW how they've touched your life and what they mean to you... That's a beautiful letter...
