I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Dr Lybrand. I started working in the dental supply business in 1956 & he "took me under his wing" and taught me about products & how he used them. I very fondly remembered him for all of my career.
My thoughts & prayers are with the family,

Dearest Ann, Betty Lynn, and family,
Buddy and I heard of your loss while we were out of town yesterday. So sorry we cannot be with you at this time. We will see you next week. We will always remember Tom as a charitable individual who had a love for nature and desire to help others. He launched Buddy into beekeeping with giving him his first bee hive. We also enjoyed talking with Tom about his wonderful orchids. He will be missed but we rejoice in his journey to be with the Lord Almighty. Pat and Buddy May-Greenville, SC

Anne, Betty Lynn & family - I was so sorry to read of the passing of your husband & Dad. He was such a dear man. A gardener like to other. The blueberry bushes we have at Sumac always make me think of him. May all your good memories help sustain you during these next days/months.
