Not sure what to say?

Jill, I am so so sorry for your loss. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.

I knew Tom through Jill, and my heart goes out to you, Jill, and your family. This has been such a sad journey, but knowing you from past enterprises that we shared, I know you were your typically dedicated and resourceful self, benefitting Tom through his life struggles to the end. What a blessing. I'm praying for a bit of peace, even though I know Tom will be terribly missed. He was a remarkable man, and you, Jill, were a remarkable couple together.

Thomas was an absolute unbelievable human being. We should all strive to be as sweet and uplifted in our troubles. This man was a "ROCK"!

Many people pass through our lives and impact it to some degree. Occasionally someone comes along and changes your life in such a monumental way that it impacts and shapes the person you are to become. You truly are a better person because of them. I can count the number of people that have had that strong of an influence on my life on one hand. Tom Whittaker is one of those people. He believed in me, stood by me, helped me up when I was down, inspired me and taught me so many life lessons...

I am honored and blessed to have known Thomas. He was truly a blessing in our lives and we will miss him. Our sincere condolences to you Jill and the children.

My prayers and condolences to the family. Tom was loved and respected by many friends in the cigar industry. I have missed out long talks. Rest in peace my friend. Jan
