Condolence: Jason; I wish you, Kate and family strength. Tory and I connected on her first day back at IBM and it was as if we had seen each other yesterday. This week as I have been remembering Tory each story or memory had a funny twist to it which brought a smile and a laugh. I hope remembering Tory will bring smiles and laughter to you all. xo

Condolence: I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Tory’s passing. Although I haven't seen Tory in quite some time, I have many fond memories of her. I used to babysit for Linda and Hal for several years when Tory, Matt, and Peter were young and I enjoyed many days filled with laughter with the three of them. Tory was a junior bridesmaid at my wedding. She was a beautiful person. My thoughts and prayers to Jason, Kate, Hal, Matt, Peter, and to all of her friends and family.

Condolence: Sincere condolences to Jason, Kate and all those who loved Tory. Tory was indeed a bright light at IBM Even the briefest chance meeting in the hall left you feeling better and most often chuckling. Tory's humour offered perspective. Too soon by far but what a legacy of memories from a life lived large. Tory will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her. Patti.

Condolence: Too young, too beautiful, too funny and too soon. Such a huge loss for anyone who knew Tory. Her legacy will be her family of course, but it is also an amazing sense of humour and such an awesome presence. In the midst of the sadness, in thinking of her since I heard the news of her passing, there has not been one of my memories that did not include Tory being crazy funny and always the one you wanted to be sitting next to because you were guaranteed a fun enjoyable evening, she was truly amazing. She will be missed dearly. My condolences to Jason, Kate, Tory’s Dad, brothers, and to all of her dear friends and family. Until we meet again my friend xoxo.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to Tory's family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Tory at IBM and was so thrilled that she had come back and was part of our IBM team again. Tory was a well respected marketing professional but also so warm and friendly. Funny enough I remember many of our conversations in the ladies' room of all places!! Tory had a spark that we will all miss. I hope that your wonderful memories and the love you shared will carry you through the days ahead. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Nancy Briglio

Condolence From: Jennifer Stephens
Condolence: I was struck with sadness upon learning the news of Tory's passing March 1st. I worked with Tory at IBM for many years and then for a brief period at Lenovo. Throughout our friendship Tory was consistently fun, smart, sassy and the ultimate professional. Tory really "knew her stuff" and was a highly skilled marketing expert, but more than that she was warm-hearted, a wonderful team member who you wanted on your team, a loyal friend, proud proud mother to Kate (who she spoke of in glowing terms and often) and a wise and trusted confident. I can't believe she is gone from this earth, but I pray for comfort and healing for Jason and Kate as they adjust to this reality. I hope they both know what a positive and lasting impression Tory made on the lives of those who were fortunate enough to be around her and call her "friend". Blessings to Jason, Kate and the entire family. With love, Jen Stephens
