Dear Tom. You may not see this post and this comment will sound odd but nonetheless will go forward. I was looking at the NSU website following a cousin on the baseball team and saw a Brandon Kusler as a coach. I was curious if he might be related to you so did some google searches and ran across the caringbridge site for you. My husband Jeff and I were your music students in Bristol SD in the early 70’s, probably your first years of teaching music. We saw you at a reunion some years ago but it still has been a long time. We are so glad to hear of your successful transplant and we hope things are continuing to improve. I don’t know if you will ever see this post but thought it was worth a try. I also read about your successful career in Bemidji on your retirement info. Our son Eric and our daughter-in-law are both alumni of BSU and Eric played football for BDU from 1993-1997. We have fond memories of your time as our teacher. Jeff and I wish you a healthy and happy life in recovery. Blessings. Mary Skaare.

My Mom always says that no news is good news! Glad you’re both doing well and it’s always nice to see you both out walking in the neighborhood. Take care!

Such good news! So happy that you both are "back."

Praying you both continue to make strides to feeling your best. Enjoy what’s left of summer👏👏👍👍🙏

You two are inspiring. Cousin hugs and much love to you!

Great news! I am thrilled to hear it. What a journey you've been on. Thanks for sharing it with us. Wishing you more good health and endless happiness!

Tom and Kim,
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Your news is wonderful to hear! My prayers will continue for you both for a full recovery and a return to your “normal” selves! Looking forward to catching you and the band one evening again! Take care and stay well! ❤️

Such a wonderful post to read! So grateful to hear you are both feeling like your amazing selves again Tom and Kim! The world is a richer place with you both in full form again and we are sending all our love, support and ongoing encouragement ❤️ The Ceases

Still thinking of you both and holding you in prayer. We are resilient! (Even when we don’t want to be). Enjoy each day, rest when you need to, make music, read good books, laugh and love.
