I just now by chance found out that Tom died back in February, which was very saddening news to me. He was such a wonderful and courageous person and bore his illness with the utmost openness and dignity. His death was an enormous loss to those of us who knew him and learned so much from him. Like Tom, I dearly love my herb garden and, above all, the herb basil, some of which I purchased from his nursery. I only hope that if I am faced with that same descent into darkness that he was that I will face it with the same dignity that he did. Added: July 2, 2011

Our condolences and prayers to you and the family.A few years ago I came across Tom's books and have used them for research and answers.They have been and are a great inspiration and tell a story, that can help many people. I cherish the books of wisdom and will continue to further in Tom's dream, to get the answer to his one question. "If they can send people to the moon, why is there not an answer for this disease"? Tom you left a great legacy, and it is being used. The miracle of minds being found is in progress. Joyce, Francisco, you are in my prayers. Added: May 15, 2011

Mr. DeBaggio's poignant, intimate memoirs touched me deeply. Even while struggling with his illness, his insights shared a wisdom for which I am very grateful. My condolences to all who knew him. Added: April 30, 2011

Here it is April and WE finally have decided what to say. Not that we knew Mr. DiBaggio at all but we do have fond memories of the Arlington back Yard and when we moved to Sterling we planted a white lavender which he called Edelweiss. It is still going strong after 22 years and everyone who visits wants some. and of course the thyme is coming up and the rosemary is blooming- our daughter used that in her bouquet with white roses and on her wedding cake. For us this is Tom DiBaggio and he will live on in his herbs. Thank you for your life and our hope for comofort and peace for the family. Bob &Karen Added: April 5, 2011

I live with Tom's life work. In the garden are the plants I bought over all these years; in the kitchen, the fragrance of all those herbs. On the window sill, one of his fragrant geraniums, and on the bookshelf, his volumes on herbs and testimony to living with growing darkness. Rosemary for rememberance, Tom. Added: March 31, 2011

Today I joyfully picked up your catalog, as always, to read that Tom has passed away. He greatly enhanced my knowledge and experience of growing herbs. Now more than ever, I will treasure his Lavandula xintermedia 'Grosso' that I still have growing and have spread around the vegetable garden. We are so lucky that he shared by example his philosophy to live fully and with relish. I just plain loved him as a friend and admirer that he did not know he had. May you have continued success in Chantilly, and remember him with great happiness. Added: March 24, 2011
