I received an email regarding the distribution of TC’s ashes, and forwarded the question to WWWendy. Of course she responded, and here is her response –
Hi There,
I apologize for not doing this on the blog. These last few months have been a whirlwind. I am currently in Spain visiting my son, Cody. He lives in Castellon on the Mediterrean Sea. I had laptop issues and was unable to access a computer
I do have Tom at home with me now. Getting his remains was quite the adventure. I haven’t even been able to stop working long enough to breathe it seems I took on a couple more clients to help with my income, had laptop issues, phone issues, mother issues, etc. I will be returning back home on 09/17. I have no issues with anyone wanting some remains. I can certainly arrange for that for anyone that wants some.
I miss Tom terribly – he has left a hole in my heart and life, I think of him everyday – I am trying very hard to decompress, take care of myself and deal with my grief. Some days are easy and others days …….. while not so much. I keep on trucking and I know Tom wouldn’t want any other way.
I hope all is well with everyone – please extend my sincere hello’s – you were all with me during Tom’s final years after his diagnosis and your support during that time meant more than you will ever know. My sincere gratitude and love for being on that journey with me. Please pass along my message and I promise I will get on blog upon my return and touch base with everyone.
With love,
WWWendy
I responded to WWWendy that I would figure out a way to get her all the names and mailing addresses of anyone who wanted to participate without compromising anyone’s privacy. So, wile I’d welcom comments from anyone who wants to say “Yes, please,” I ask that you not put your mailing address here, but sent it to me by email. Everyone who gets my weekly messages should already have it, and I ask COlleen to feel free to send it to everyone on her list (you probably don’t know who’s on my list, since I guard tose emails, but your recipients will know. And, in any case, it’s on the website – hiding behind the “Contact me” link on the lower left.
I will make a list of names and addresses and get it to her , probably in a pdf file, possibly by snailmail.
Also, there is no place in Spain that a single picture is going to do justice to. That said, here is a picture of Castellon de la Plana, the capital of Castellon province.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Not wishing to speak for all of us here at PP, I miss Tom, or TomCat as I always called him, very much too. But we’ve only known Tom virtually, from his blog and the occasional photo. Yet you have known him personally, Wendy. You spoke to him on a very regular basis, heard his voice, saw his expressions and emotions, listened to his banter and his jokes; you shared all aspects of the last years of his life and you were with him at the most important moments and stood by him.
You loved this wonderful man and must miss him incredibly. Take your time to grieve for the loss of your best friend, Wendy. You and Tom both deserve it.
I’m very glad I didn’t even attempt to say this, since I could never have done it so well, and would on;y have detracted.
I would also have to repeat what Jaoanne said. Lona, you said it much better than I could have.
And Wendy, Take care of yourself and take all the time to grieve and do what is BEST for your needs. It sounds like you have enough on your plate at this time.
I too would of never been able to word it like Lona did.
Like she mentions, take all the time you need. You and TomCat had a very close relationship for many years. Take as much time as you need.
Do take care and enjoy your time with your son, Cody.
Thank you, WWWendy for the info, your words, and also Lona for your moving and sweet comment.
I too, miss TC, and there is a place in my heart for this kind, gentle, and loving man. Always.
Thanks so much, Joanne, for posting this.
Wendy, I hope you received my earlier message, thanking you for all you did. I can imagine how much you would miss someone as kind and interesting as TC. I’ll get my address to you more privately.
ENORMOUS pamTHANKS, Wendy.

Prayers continue with you Wendy thanks for the update and glad your efforts succeeded.
