Hey, TJ's boundless group of friends.
TJ's sister, Joy Langley, has asked that all of us decline media requests and allow her to field media inquiries and interviews and I agree with her 100%. As someone who frequently interviews people, I understand, as we all do, that reporters are merely doing their job, but it makes the most sense for there to be one media spokesperson and for it to be TJ's adored and supremely intelligent sister, Joy.
KIRO very nicely approached me and I declined for the above reasons. Then the reporter asked if anyone in Seattle's theater community would speak on camera and I politely explained that, no, they wouldn't, out of respect for the family's wishes. Please get the word out to, as I said, TJ's boundless group of friends.
Thanks so much,
Litsa

Dearest Litsa,
My deepest and most sincere condolances to you and all of T.J.'s friends and family. I know he holds a place in your heart that can never be extinguished, never be replaced. Unexpected loss like this is hard to come to terms with, and words can only do so much, but I hope you know that everyone who knows you wishes you comfort and strength at this tough time.
Sincerely,
Tony
