Darlene and Harmony,

We were so sorry to hear about loss. Tom was a great guy and I always enjoyed talking with him. I still remember our first block party here, where we were paired together for games. We hung around all day and had such a great time.

We will pray for you and if you need anything, please give me a call.

Mark Hartman and family.

My sincere condolences to the Zotto family. Although I have never had the chance to meet Tom up close and personal we did speak weekly when he placed orders to us thru Atlas. He certainly had an infectious laugh and brightened my day when we spoke. I sure will miss his funny emails and I know many, many people will sorely miss this special person!

May 7, 2010

To all of you our deepest sympathy and our hope that your memories of the day that the Lord took Tommy from you drift away and the memories of his smile, his laugh and his love make all of you smile and laugh again when you think of him.
Always remember him in your heart.....
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Carol & Tom Murphy
