But there have been good things, too - and one of them is Becky.She just finished her second year of medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin and takes her boards next month.She thinks she might be a cardiologist.She is getting married next year.

Kathy says watching Becky makes her feel good.

"Tom would be so pleased if today he could meet Becky," Freyer adds.

"I have always tried to do something good with my life," she said.
