Condolence: Oh Mercedes, I'm so saddened to discover that Tommy has died. He truly believed in me and my talent - and I feel so lucky to have known him. He was such a good soul. I remember attending one of your cabarets in New York -- and Tommy took such care putting flowers on the piano - and making sure the venue was beautiful and everything was 'just right' on the stage for your performance. I hope you are wrapping yourself in all the love and good memories you had with him. ~ Sarah
