About Tom Duffy Families
Tom Duffy loved and supported his family through everything. When he passed, family, friends and community stepped in to fill that void for Robyn and the kids. From that moment on, Robyn vowed that no widow or widower in the valley would ever walk this path alone again. Her desire is for everyone to have the support that she did during that trying time.
The Tom Duffy Family project has been put together to assist those left behind through that first year after tragedy. We have worked with others in our community to create a package to shoulder some of the burden.
How It Works
Extending Support When Families Need It Most
We are working with the Gallatin County Sheriff Chaplain Department. When they hear about a loss of a sudden widow or widower, they have a package to give to the family. That first package contains things like Costco sized paper plates, cups, napkins and silverware to take the burden away of dishes when so many people will be in and out of the house. There will also be a brochure that tells a little about us and encourages a family member to contact us so that we can then send a packet listing all the services and resources that are available to them.
Here Are Examples of the Free Services That We Are Providing.
The List Continues to Grow as More and More People Are Wanting to Be Involved.

Resources for the Road Ahead
Along with those free services, the packet also includes resources in the valley that are useful for the surviving spouse. It might be something that they take advantage of right away or a year later. There is zero commitment to any of this. The surviving spouse gets to choose what services and resources they would like to utilize. The packet is simply there to lay it all out for them.
