there are no words

What a week it has been.
On Saturday morning, I received one of the most upsetting phone calls I can remember.

This link has a nice slideshow of photos of Tom.

This article (I feel) is much more accurate, and was released by the Peace Corps.

I am sad, angry, hurt, confused... so many things. It is a terrible tragedy and an unfathomable loss for our group, for Lesotho, and for America.

I consider myself very privileged to have known Tom Maresco, and to have served with him in Lesotho for these past nine months. My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with his friends and family worldwide. May he rest in peace.
