Jan, I appreciate so much the sharing of this news. I did not turn off our mutual Skype connection until earlier today. It happened when the notice came on my screen that Tom was online. It was sad because I wish it were really true. Thank you for sharing this news. I was really impacted by it. Tom was a plain spoken guy who strived to live as an authentic man. He was a friend and I am saddened by his passing. He helped me and I believe I helped him. We did share the adventure of acupuncture together. We had good talks and he was able to bring light to a mystery that relieved my mind. Thank you On Sat, Dec 7, 2013 at 9:24 PM, <jsanders@bconnex.net> wrote:
This message was on Trish Broesma facebook. I noticed there was not an announce here so I am posting. We celebrate the full and joyful life of Tom.
This morning upon waking we discovered that my ex-husband Tom ("wasband" as he called it, me the "fife") made his final transition peacefully in his sleep in the early morning hours. He has been living here with me, our daughter and two grandchildren for the past 5 months. It has been a beautiful time where he helped care for the grandchildren and was in a wonderfully peaceful and happy time of his life. We are all torn with sorrow right now, but at the same time so grateful that we have experienced these happy past few months with him. In the past few days and months he has talked of moving on with his work, speaking to us of how peaceful and content he felt about that.
Our sons are arriving in the coming days and we will have a memorial service next weekend or in the days after that. If you live locally and would like to know when we have set a particular time, please contact me via email.

This photo was taken of him recently with little Gweni who turned two years old a couple of weeks ago. It shows that happiness just perfectly.
