What a sweet guy! I will always remember his wonderful smile and kind heart. I hung with him more in grade school (HF) than in HS, and he was always fun to be around. Tom always had a spring in his step and a smile on his face. Have not seen you in years, but so sorry now to hear of your passing on down the line. I once pranked him at Al McGuire's basketball camp - sorry, man, but thank you for forgiving me. I see him in his basketball sweats shooting jumb shots. Not an ironic or mocking smile - but genuine. He always appeared to be smiling for one thing - no matter when you saw him, or no matter what his mood. Lyno was probably the last of our class I though we'd be writing memorials for. I can still remember the hours we spent on the basketball court together and the great times we had hanging out. Also nice to see some of our classmates.Īpparently, Tom had a cancer that metastasized into his bones before he even knew he had it. Nice to see Tom's family his sons look a lot like Tom. There was literally a spring in his step. Tom was one of the happiest and nicest guys I knew in high school. May God hold his family in His protective arms and may Tom RIP. So Ellory.I agree with you! Tom had the most beautiful smile and he was also always kind and friendly. Tom was the second boy I kissed in the 8th grade. He made one feel good just by saying 'hello'. One of the most avid and earnest partiers and a great kisser. The sweetest friend, animated athlete, thoroughly enjoyed life in high school and lived it to the fullest.

To accomplish this, our worship space includes an Italian handcrafted mosaic featuring Our Lady of Guadalupe which is located in main nave near the prayer chapel. Therefore, it is vital that an image of Mary be visible to all who worship in our renovated church, because Mary is so important to our relationship with her Son. From Our Lady of Lourdes to Our Lady of Altagracia to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, devotions have been prayed, hymns have been sung, and images of stone and wood and mosaic have been gracing our churches and homes. Over the centuries many cultures and peoples have adopted Mary as their patroness. From the opening chapters of the Gospels of Luke and Matthew to the “Hail Mary” prayer recited by our children preparing for their First Eucharist, Mary has been an example of faith and trust in God, and an inspiration to believers struggling to understand how God is calling them to follow Mary’s Son Jesus Christ. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a central figure in the story of salvation. The new worship space was dedicated on Decem– just in time for Christmas! Since the dedication, the remaining unfinished mosaics have been completed with the final piece being the Our Lady of Guadalupe mosaic, which was installed and blessed in August 2021. Lumen Christi operated at the two sites until the fall of 2014 when it began plans to unite all parish facilities at the Mequon site. Lumen Christi Catholic Church was a result of the merger of two long time parishes – St. Matthew Jacob in August 2021 and a stand alone image of it as it looks today in the church. Photos include one of the mosaic being constructed in Italy, the blessing of the image by Fr.
