Erma touched so many people with her beautiful smile and loving way. She always put Jack, Greg and Mark first and welcomed all to the Thomas family as guests. Her devotion to God and family was evident the first time we met. She made me feel like part of the family and treated me like another son. I know that God gave Erma an express ride to heaven because she lived the life of love and demonstrated her faith in so many ways. Thank You Lord - we now have another wonderful angel looking out and over us. God Rest Your Soul Erma Thomas and God Bless the Thomas family and help them during this time of loss.
Kindest Condolences,
Jim Kelly

Ms. Erma was a beautiful lady. So loving and friendly. Both Donald and I had many a pleasant hour visiting with Erma and her husband Jack. Christmas was always a special time in Erma's home. Our deepest sympathy to your husband Jack, your sons Greg, Mark and family. You are now in God's arms.
With love,
Lenore & Donald
