Funeral Services for Fr. Tom

Dearest family and friends of Fr. Tom:

It is with deep sadness and sorrow that I write this final installation of updates for Fr. Tom. I cannot even begin to express the grief that I feel, let alone the grief that his family is enduring. The tears that flow from my eyes are difficult to bear as is the burden of the pain that weighs down heavily upon me. I can sense yours as well. Know that Fr. Tom is with us to give solace and comfort. Also know that every ounce of strength left in me will be expended in prayer on your behalf.

Let us grieve and continue to celebrate the life of our dearly beloved friend and priest. Please join me and the Dominican community next week for the following services at Blessed Sacrament Church:

Vigil Service (Office of the Dead and the Rosary)

Tuesday, January 27 at 7:00 PM

Funeral Mass

Wednesday, January 28 at 10:00 AM

Blessed Sacrament Church

5041 9th Avenue NE

Seattle, WA 98105

I remain always yours in Christ,

Priests and religious: Please let me know if you plan to attend either the Vigil or the Funeral Mass. We would like to prepare for your arrival. Please bring your own stole, alb, or any particular vestments you will need in choir.

I remain always yours in Christ,

Jesson
