Mrs. Thomason was precious and loved in the eyes of her Father and all of those she served. Growing up with her daughter, Gayle, I was always welcome in her home and she always greeted me with a smile and a warm embrace. It is out of love, appreciation, and respect that I bid her farewell and commend the spirit of this good and faithful servant to our Lord and Savior -- rest and be at peace, Mrs. Thomason ... and thank you.
