Dear ultra-tom, I've been pretty sure for a long time that there would be a chance to meet you at some event or the other sometime in the future and, more recently, that it would be with Donna waiting for you at the finish. I can't keep up to you but, when it happens now, as many of us as possible will be waitin' for you in memory of a very lovely lady, and rare non-runner who never prejudged us because of it.

(Thank you Aamos) Tom, even knowing of the pneumonia...I was still so unprepared for this...i am so sorry. Meeting you and Donna at Estes Park and sharing dinner together was the highlight of our trip. She was so happy, so obviously deeply in love with you. Please stay in touch, we all love you...

Tom, So very sorry to hear the news of Donna passing away. I never had the pleasure of getting to know you or Donna, but from reading everyone's posts, she will surely be missed by all of us here on RA. Please post whenever you can, and whenever you need to, and we will all be here to lift you up when needed. Jewels

But in the end, I'm more afraid of not trying, than failing. JJJessee

Tom, I'm so sorry. Seeing that you had to let your beautiful bride, best friend and lover go is just such sad news. She is in God's hands, and there is no better place to be. I pray that you will feel His comfort.
