I was so sorry to learn about Tory. I remember when she was born, and as the beautiful little girl who used to come into the office. My condolences to you on your loss and on a life of such promise cut so short.

Dear Fred, Jan, and Greg --
David & I heard this devastating news today and are utterly heartbroken for you. Tory's sweet, bubbling smile may be gone from this world, but not her spirit. That will last forever. We are thinking of you. There simply can be no words for this. We are so so sad.
Love Elaine & David

Dear Fred and Janet,
We are dear friends of Kathy and Bob's from Ohio. I'm sure you don't remember, but I met Janet and Tory on Cape Cod one summer several years ago. We cannot imagine the pain you are feeling. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this tragic time, and that Tory touched many lives.

Our deepest sympathies, Mary and Dan Bell

Dear Fred and Janet,
I was so startled and sad to hear of the loss of your daughter. It is such a sudden and tragic loss that your heart cannot prepare for. Fred, I know you from DEP Boston and Toastmasters; I've never met your daughter, but I can imagine she had the same ready smile and sparkling eyes. My heart is with both of you in your sorrow.

Fred, Jan and Greg:

My thoughts and prayers are with you, as well as my sincere condolences. I remember Tory dancing at Paulette's, especially as the lead dancer for Erin's class, and watching her run around, with Erin in tow, at the Wednesday night concerts at Endicott.
