I heard the news today. Oh boy. bout an unlucky man, but who made my Grade. & though the news was quite sad...well I just have to let it pass My Thoughts went out to Him & You, I really really wasnt sure what to say.... they'll continued on for years to come. Tom sure loved the Beatles. Ol' Boy. He was of my g-g-generation. And of a different Time & Space. Oh as a boy he was the one of the sons of the Lanier "Dad's". For me He was part of the Map a boy uses, in his head to identify who he is. ...in this case just Me. Since he was older he was more of the Map than James or Rob, his brothers. He was a fellow who stretched the boundaries of our Family in the way We the Lanier's were squarely thinking about the World. Tom was very kind to Me all my life. He had some meaningful comments to me about the AirStream I built, that resonated. Years later He came over one night surprizing me while I worked, and with a fellow friend, Just to recount a story of the Beatles & it's deep meaning . Wow that was something. Sharin' the luv. Thanks Tom. I would have connected with him more, but he was always going somewhere, more than anyone I knew, not going to be in my moment at least . I just let that go cuz it was his. He may have taught me not to do that. I am sorry his life was a hard one. It's why we get to Go. He, of all people I know will appreciate this trancendance, and be wonderful for it. Wow, what a Sister Sherry was , Caring so much for these 'Boys', As she did for so long giving her life. Tom & Sherry were to me like halve's of a Whole. Well done Sherry. I think you understand Tom and I glad someone did. So I wish you & Rob & James peace & a feeling of completion ... Feeling some relief & that your Love role was important & well recieved all these years. Worth all the travel dear. I hope you have some transcendence with Tom. Best feelings from me Sherry James & Rob. I will remember Tom. I loved him. I'll always offer to help if you need something done. Addison Lanier.
