Barbara and family, Warren, Doug and Ann Carol: I am truly sorry to have heard last night of Tommy's death and your significant loss. This is yet one more of the Haden boys leaving us far too soon. I know you will hold each other closely; I am sorry not to be there to express my support and caring.
Tommy was a good man. I won't forget him, his warm smile, his gentleness and his openness to others. As you grieve your loss, may your special memories continue to bring you comfort. I will be holding you in my thoughts. Barbra

To the family of Tom Haden: I worked with Tom at the City for a number of years. He was an amazing and wonderful man who will be greatly missed. I ran into him recently at Giant and he was clearly not feeling well but was his normal, kind, self. I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my prayers. Cindy Proffitt
