“We’re so excited to celebrate with you. Thank you for being part of our story.”
Our lives first crossed years ago when Tom coached with Fran’s husband, Jack, and Fran spent many games sitting in the stands with Tom’s wife, Diane. None of us could have imagined how those ordinary afternoons would one day become part of the journey that ultimately brought us together. After losing Diane to ALS and Jack to blood cancer, our shared history and understanding slowly grew into a connection that has led us to this new chapter. These causes hold a special place in our hearts, and honoring Jack and Diane feels like a meaningful way to celebrate the path that brought us here. Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift and we look forward to celebrating with each of you. In lieu of traditional gifts, we invite you to consider a donation in Jack’s and Diane’s memory.

Independence Hall is a historic civic building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, best known as the place where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated, adopted, and signed. It’s often called the birthplace of the United States because the nation’s founding ideas were shaped within its walls.
The Liberty Bell is a historic bronze bell located in Philadelphia, famous for its iconic crack and its powerful message of freedom. It originally hung in the Pennsylvania State House—now known as Independence Hall—and was used to call lawmakers to meetings and alert citizens to public announcements.
Grounds For Sculpture is a year-round, 42 acre New Jersey-sculpture park that invites you to unwind, explore and connect in ever-changing art-filled gardens. Outdoors, over 300 contemporary sculptures are sited across the park, while temporary exhibitions from established and emerging artists are featured in six indoor galleries. Grounds For Sculpture was founded by artist and philanthropist Seward Johnson. It opened in 1992 on the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds and was a natural extension of its predecessor, Johnson Atelier. Hundreds of artists studied and produced work at the Atelier, and Johnson saw the potential of the neighboring bygone fairgrounds as a place where artwork could be sited within the landscape, and visitors could delight in discovering contemporary sculpture.
