To Pam and the Nowell family. My sincerest condolences. I am so sorry for your loss and grief. I hope memories of Tom´s smile, his voice and his beautiful personality will sustain you and provide you with some comfort and solace. He was a magnificent human.

Donnalynn and I have been seeing shows at Commerce Street for many years and appreciated the work Tom did and his contribution to theatre arts in the Lynchburg area. His theatre was the inspiration for the design of our own theatre in Brookneal, and we have shared several set pieces over the past few years. He will be missed and long remembered.

Pam, we are so sad to learn that Tom "has taken his last bow," as you said. He did so much for theatre in the community. We send our sympathy to you and all of Tom´s family. Janie and David Vaughan
