This is the video that we showed at the end of Tom's Memorial Service. It came from Tom's video journals he started making as soon as he was diagnosed.
Special Thanks to Hugh for the hard work.

Hi Teresa, I am not sure if we formally met, but I, Chika O'Donnell, am one of many Occupational Therapists who were fortunate to work with Mr. Lawrence (AKA Big Tom) while he was at the inpatient rehab of the Methodist Hospital. I mostly worked with him in February when your sister Nicole was in the room(Nicole might remember me as a Japanese therapist with Irish last name). Although it was somewhere around 10 sessions or so, Big Tom touched my heart in many ways, with his courage and strength to fight a cancer and passion for shooting videos. It led me to send my contribution to the Cal Farley Boys Ranch in honor/memory of Big Tom. I'd like to acknowedge the recepit of your thank-you note. I also want to thank you for including this Blog address in the note so that I can learn more about Big Tom and his life work. God bless you.
Dear Theresa, I wanted to thank you for including your blog address in the note you sent me through email. Through the stories, audio sessions, and videos I see what a wonderful man you gave your heart to. I can only imagine the pain of your loss. If I can be of any help to you, whatsoever, please let me know. You continue to be in my thoughts daily. If you have any reason to be in the Dallas, Fort Worth area you always have a bed here with us. love you, Kristi kristimotenbanks@yahoo.com
