comment from former freeloader about tom

i love getting these comments from former friends of dearly departed tom cole...

I knew Tom from when we shared an office at FreeLoader. Every now and then I do the same thing most people do and I look for info on people I know online. I've never been able to find anything on Tom no matter how hard I looked. I just wanted to send him an email or find out what he's been up to or something. I FINALLY found a search string that yelded a result . . . and this is what I found. Only a few days ago my wife and I were talking about Tom after watching some of our wedding video for our 10th anniversary. Tom was at our wedding and, just as he did every day, his presence made everything shine just that much brighter. I had so much fun with Tom for that short period I got to work with him. It was only six short months, but I feel priveledged that I got to spend it sharing an office with him five days a week. For everyone else you've had a year to deal with this. For me, it's all happening RIGHT NOW and it's bordering on the unbearable. Mark; I can't even BEGIN TO FATHOM what this has been like for you. I know how close you two were and by the looks things continued to be. You have my heartfelt sympathy. I'm having a lot of trouble seeing the screen right now through the tears so I'll just stop.
