Dear Lisa,

I worked with your father at U.S.Customs and he was one of my favorite people in the office. He always made me laugh and smile. Tom was kind and generous. He was greatly missed when he retired because he was such a vital force in the office. I am so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
