To The Entire Lambert Family,
I can only imagine the grief that you all are going through. My heart broke when I heard the news about Tom.
My time at Lamberts was very memorable (2000-2004). Tom was always so good to all of us. He made everyone feel like family not employees. When I was pregnant with my son, Kristopher, Tom always said hello to me every morning and asked how the baby was doing. That memory has stayed with me always. No boss was ever kinder and I will miss him.
God bless you all and may he ease your pain.
Love, Anna and Lance Fisher

Dear Linda,
