Correct me if I'm wrong, and I would not be surprised to find out that I am, but didn't I read or hear that Tom did die of cancer and that Michael was truly sorry about his death? If there was such a feud between the two men, why would Michael take care of Tom's family? I know someone will say that Michael felt guilty and softened with age, but in this case, I believe he truly respected Tom and wanted the best for his family.
