Tommy passed early this morning from early-onset Parkinson's. He was surrounded in love by his beautiful family and loving wife, Cristy. Over the past 10 years, this disease has left his family navigating a level of hardship no one could have been prepared for. Over the last several weeks, Cristy and their 4 children stayed by his bedside every day. They slept on chairs and on the floor of his hospital room. They missed work, and two of the girls even paused schooling so they could be with him in his final days on Earth. Their love never wavered, but the financial strain has been building and became overwhelming.

In honor of Tommy's courage and the family's deep respect for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, donations in his name would be significant. However, the family has been and is currently facing urgent practical needs, including medical expenses, lost income, and basic bills that have fallen behind during this long and heartbreaking journey.

For those that feel moved to help, contributions will go directly toward supporting the family through this difficult transition and allow them the space to grieve without the added financial worry.

Donations can also be made directly to Cristy via Venmo @Christine-Mulroy.

Your kindness means more than words can express. Thank you for helping carry this beautiful family through the hardest chapters of their lives.

Thank you,
Vicky Que & Melissa Gaffney
