Tom Lapos, a long-time member of Sacramento Council 953 passed February 13, 2012. He left a lasting impression on those he knew in life, and on a small Catholic chapel in Thornton, California. Tom painstakingly made, and his wife Becky painted, a large stained glass window depicting Our Lady of Sorrows for the Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel in Thornton. The window is located high up on the front of the church facing to the west. It is said that the window can be seen from Interstate-5 northbound traffic at night when the window is illuminated. The chapel is a delight to see, although it is not always open. The next time you are driving along I-5 about 28 miles south of Sacramento, take exit 493 (W. Walnut Grove Rd.) and go east 0.4 mile to Thornton. It is worth a quick side trip to see the chapel and the window that one of our beloved Brother Knights created. And, as you look at the window, say a nice thank you to Tom and Becky.

Peace be with you Becky.
