Everyone,

I am about to tell you a heart warming story.  Not because of the holiday season, but because I personally know someone connected to the story.

My friend, let's call him Rex, had a nephew named Tom Eggers.  Tom died on March 14th from a massive heart attack, Tom was 56 years old.

The family was expecting a normal funeral, they paid for an obituary to be printed in the paper.  From the reading of the obituary, Tom was a good man.

Yet the funeral was anything but normal. To begin with, it was standing room only.  The family was amazed, people just kept coming in.

It seems Tom had a semi-secret life.  Oh, the family new of some of the things Tom was up to but not the extent of it.  If you want to read about it, this reporter did a good job.

One guy can make a difference, and yet he held no political office. :-)

Happy Holidays,
