I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Thomas, but I do work with his grandson Mark Brown. From how Mark conducts himself he has to have come from a great family. I am sorry for your loss but I know his future and right now there is no place Mr. Thomas would rather be. Out of this world into the presence of the all-mighty! How glorious it must be for him! That is what we live for!

I am so disappointed that I didn’t see this until just today. Would have certainly come to show my respect. I really enjoyed seeing Merle and Donna at The Homestead and around town. Wishing you all comfort and peace in this time of adjustment. Rejoicing with Merle that he could go home.
