Little Brother

Mr. & Mrs. Malik, Shiera, Sati, and Samil

We offer our deepest sympathies and prayers for your family. My name's Theo. It was never spoken, but I felt that it was a mutual feeling between Tombol and I, that he was like a little brother to me. His loss has affected me in a way that I would have never thought possible. Trips to New York and working together at Florian are only a small part of the memories that I'll cherish. Tombol's approach to life and new experiences was one of wide-eyed curiosity. His sense of humor and quick wit were his trademark. He was one of the most mature young men that I ever had the good fortune of meeting. His physical form may no longer exist, but his spirit remains.

Love you little brother,
Theo, Melissa, & Miles
