Joanne & Family,

My deepest sympathies on the loss of Tom.
My association with Tom & you (Joanne) was through Hybrid-Tek, Inc. and ACC.

Joanne, my husband, Mark passed away 5 months ago, unexpectedly. I know the emotionally impact loosing a spouse has on you.

Joanne, please feel free to contact me so that we can lean on one another for conversational support. I am still @ HTI.

Today, I am there in spirit for the Memorial Service. Emotionally I cannot bring myself to George Hassler at this time. My brother was "there" after we lost him to a car accident & then Mark. At this moment, the memories are too vivid.

Find comfort in the belief that we all do meet up again.

God bless you and your family.
You are in my prayers.

Dear Joanne and San: Tom was a warm and gracious man whose compassion for others and grace under the pressure of being challenged by illness was inspiring. He was pragmatic throughout his life and chose to leave us the same way. Your love for Tom was, and is, evident. Your love for him was one of the foundations of your beautiful family and your love is what allowed you to care for and about him through some very trying times. We think Tom is fine now so our thoughts are with you both and with Charles and Ellen and their families. We are saddened that Tom is gone but so very happy to have known him.

With love, Al and Sandy Mears
