I met Mr. Thomas in 2007 when he came to live at Cedar Hill Apartments and loved having him as a resident. Every month he would come into my office and tell me stories of his life as a fisherman and his love for his Grand daughter Kara. I'm so thankful that I was able to visit with him and have lunch together on Saturday before his passing. He will be sadly missed by all.

Sincerely,

I was so sad to hear about Aubrey passing away. I met him in 1958, my brother introduced us. I also met my husband. He and Aubrey were good friends.
I haven't seen him in years, but often thought of him.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you during these difficult days you face.
Remember he is just out of sight but not your heart.
Sincrely,
Peggy Douglas
