May tender memories soften your grief, May fond recollection bring you relief, and may you find comfort and peace in the thought of the joy that knowing your loved one brought...For time and space can never divide or keep your loved one from your side. When memory paints in colors true the happy hours that belonged to you. -Helen Steiner Rice-
I will greatly miss Deacon Thomas, he was a great example of a Christian husband, father and my friend and spiritual dad. "Sam"
