our heartfelt thoughts are with you

Dear Karen, Sheira, Sati, and Samil,

John and I are so sorry and saddened by the news of Tombol, and he, along with each of you, has been in the forefront of our thoughts these last few days. He was such a nice kid, and from all accounts he had become a wonderful young man as well. I feel guilty for not having made more of an effort to keep in touch. In spite of that, we often think about all of you and the good times that we had together. I can still hear Tombol's infectious laugh and see his playful eyes as he was thinking of a "trick" to play on someone. Our lives are richer for having known him, and we'll cherish our memories of him always.

Love,
Trinda and John
