Best of Luck on the Trial

I was a friend of Tombol when we worked together at Banana Republic. I wish the Malik family the best for a swift and fair trial. He was a great person and I hope that justice can somehow be served.

This Wandering Memento

Greetings and condolences to the Malik family.

My name is crystal. I too went to Ray with Tombol. My memory only serves to remind me that Tombol was a couple years older than me and was one of the older guys us younger girls wanted to know how to talk to. I never worked up the nerve to say much to Tombol in grammar school. Most of my interactions with Tombol were long after high school, in our college years, where I would run into him by chance out and around Hyde Park or by coincidence he was living with other childhood friends or a party here and there. There is no way to describe the shock I had when I heard of Tombol's unnecessary and unprovoked death. I got tangled up in confusing and selfish emotions of anger and hurt and what usually follows these distorted, passionate feelings is guilt. I regret that I have not reached out to you sooner, but i can say nothing will keep me from attending the trial to witness "justice" finally prevail, and perhaps grant Tombol's family their right to the healing process. I keep Tombol and you, his family, in my thoughts and prayers, and send a universe of righteous blessings to you all.

May justice and righteous anger prevail.
Truly,
Crystal.

A Dream!

Hi! I just woke up from a dream about Tombol and I had to let you know because he looked great. It was so weird because when I woke up it took me a while to register and remember that he wasn't here anymore and that it was just a dream. He looked really good and was playing with a band...lol. I watched him play and then gave him a huge hug when he finished I just held him for a long time and told him that I missed him. He said he missed me too but was doing good. Then we sat outside in front of a fountain that was supposed to be a replica of a waterfall and caught up about our Ray School buddies. I commented that the fountain was nice and he said that real waterfalls were so much more beautiful and that if you listened closely to their sound they spoke to you. He was so at peace and sure of himself. We talked for a little while longer about people and food and then he hugged me again kissed my cheek and said he had to run. I woke up smiling because it felt so real and he seemed so at peace. I guess I just wanted to let you guys know.

You are in my thoughts always,
Suheily Natal
