To the Nappanee area community: I Words cannot express our appreciation for all the many acts of kindness shown to our family during the loss of our loved one, Tom Lehman. This community is a shining star as an example of how to care for each other. Thank you to our families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, class mates, pastors and church members who called on us, prepared food for us, cried with us, sent flowers to us and cared for us. Thank you also to the Nappanee Police Department and EMS for their rapid response to our call and the Thomp-son-Lengacher & Yoder Funeral Home for their excellent care. Tom served the community well and in turn, his community served him well. We shall never forget Tom, nor will we forget the abundance of care and concern given to us.
