Carol and Andrea,
I have no words to express how fortunate I feel for having the opportunity of working with Tom. He inspired us in so many ways. Thank you for sharing him with us all these years. He is already missed. Tom touched so many lives in a good way and our students loved him. I will keep your family in my prayers. -Evelyn

Tom was a trusted friend and mentor to so many at Waubonsee. He was a darn good counselor! Smart, patient, caring, thoughtful. I am shocked and saddened that Tom's time on this earth ended so soon. Sending sympathy and support to Carol and Andrea. I didn't know you, but I did know how proud he was of you both. Rest in peace, dear Tom! You will be missed.

Our deepest sympathies to all of you! Carol and Andrea, our hearts are simply broken for you. We will miss our times together with Tom: enjoying great folk music, apple picking (and donut eating), and wonderful conversation over food adventures! We are grateful for all the kindness and care that Tom brought to the world and will miss him dearly.

Andrea, My most deepest, heartfelt sympathy for you and your family. I also lost my father suddenly and at young age, and it is just beyond devastating. Please know that we are all thinking of you doing this so very difficult time. Love, Holly
