Thomas M. BELLINGER

Carol, thinking of you at this very tough time. I appreciated our friendship as we worked near each other at Garco. Each day I always observed your professionalism in every area of your job. You cared for Tom admirably and showed genuine concern for him in his trials. Big hugs to you.

Tom and I were good friends from our days at Gonzaga Prep and beyond. Fortunately, we had a chance to visit with Tom and Carol recently. Rest in peace my friend.

Carol, I am so sorry to have read about Tom's passing. You're in my and Georgie's thoughts and prayers. I hope you're at peace. Our deepest condolences.

Tom,
Though we did not maintain regular contact after age 22, I will always consider you to be a life-long friend. We shared our formative years together, lived on the same block, graduated from the same high school, took trips in the same car (your Austin Healy), and formulated our hopes and plans for the future over more than a few cold beers. You, Carol, your mom, and your sisters still have, and will always have, a special place in my heart. God will undoubtedly shine his light upon...

Tom and I grew up through Little-League days together in Ephrata, and some of my best memories from those times derive from the Bellingers' basement and backyard sleep-outs w/ Tom and assortments of brothers & pals. Goodbye, sweet boyhood friend--Until next we meet on this Great Mandala.
