Not sure what to say?

Aunt Ronny, this is your neice,Harriet Ann, I am truly sorry to hear of Uncle Tommy's passing.I'm not sure what made me look him up today, maybe its to reconnect with you.

I hung the Christmas cards every year and would always look forward to seeing what card you'd take the time to handmake. I'm not sure why the distance happened, but I wanted you to know as his God daughter I remember him fondly. My sincere...

Please accept my condolences. During this difficult time may you rely on God Almighty to comfort you.

Dear Ronny-
My heart goes out to you and your family. I remember chats with Tom at the Princeton Library with such fondness. He was the go-to guy for book recommendations - what a wealth of knowledge he possessed.
It was a delight to work with him on the Library Board of Trustees. I use his example when running a board meeting - keep it on time, no longer than one hour and let common sense rule. He was a humble but masterful leader and so wise - he was very much respected here...

My condolences to Ronny, Tom, Nick and family. I have very fond memories of my years at Derby with Mr. Waters as headmaster. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sorry to read that Thomas Waters, the former Headmaster at Derby Academy passed away. I attended Derby from 78 - 82 and Mr. Waters was wonderfully kind and fair man who was influential in helping me navigate through school. I have nothing but warm memories of Mr. Waters.
Warmly, john mcsheffrey
