I remember Thomas as a care free loving individual. Thomas always had a way of making me laugh or smile everytime I spoke with him. I know that he is doing the same thing in heaven. I also know that he is enjoying the presence of the Lord. I pray that God allows the Sutton family to feel his love and peace during this time as they are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love

Dearest Sutton Family:

I was encompassed by deep sorrow when I learned of Thomas' passing; however, knowing his suffering has been replaced with joy is something to rest in.

"Earth has NO SORROW, that heaven cannot heal." You will mourn, but as believers we are NOT without HOPE. Let HOPE guide you through the days to come.

May God bless and comfort you all!

I last saw Thomas in the hospital. He continued to wear a smile and he ate his lunch and he enjoyed the chocolate covered peanuts. He had no fear and he expressed his trust in the Lord. I asked him if he remembered Psalms 27 that he memorized in our Sunday school class. He listen carfully as I read Psams 27 and we agreed that he would rest in it. Thomas is free with our Savior. I know that God will lighten your hearts and keep the family in his care.
