TWD Also Sends Its Condolences To The Family Of Terrence Tolbert

Via Cali Scribe at the Kos, Marc Ambinder broke this story over at the Atlantic. Tolbert, who was a top official and prominent member of the NYC Department of Education, was Barack Obama's state director for Nevada.

Mike Bloomberg shared his thoughts on Tolbert:

“Last night, Terence Tolbert, who was a valued member of our Administration and had become a personal friend of mine, had a massive heart attack in Nevada where he was working on Senator Obama’s campaign. Terence was not only somebody who was one of the most likeable people in the world, he was one of the most hardworking people in the world. He had great judgment and a great feel for people, and this really is a great tragedy. Our Administration will miss him, the City will miss him, the country will miss him, and all of our prayers go out to his wife Freida and his mother Carolyn. We’ll announce the funeral arrangements when they’re made, but this really is a tragedy and it puts things in perspective. One of the nice things about November 4th was going to be that Terence would come back to us. Now, sadly, he is never going to come back – but we will never forget him.”

TWD definitely sends out blessings and deep prayers for his family, as the site does for everyone who has lost a love one.
