Dear Thomas Family,
We are so very saddened by the loss of Sabrina. She was a very special girl who gave great hugs. Ryan was distraught that he won't see her again until we meet in heaven. She was always so kind to him in school.
May God bless you and comfort you!

July 9, 2009

Dear Thomas family,

I am so sorry to hear about Sabrina and words fail me as to the grief each one of you are feeling at this time. I hope it will be of some comfort to know that she is with our Heavenly Father. I, also pray his heavenly angels and his doves of peace will be with you today and the days to come. My daughter, Lydia Dameron, often spoke of Sabrina with kind words and she will be greatly missed in class.

God Bless,
James, Brenda & Lydia Dameron

Dear Lee and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of your daughter's accident. It doesn't seem
right that we bury our children, but we are not promised another day. Only
God's love can carry you through this time of grief.

The Word says "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".
I pray Numbers 6, 24-26 for you and your family. Psalm 116, 15 says "Blessed in the sight of the Lord is
the death of His saints".

Please let me know if there is anything
I can do.

Love and Blessings,
Doris White

Dear Crystal, Lee, & family,
I am so much going to miss Sabrina's smiling face in the lunch-line where I saw her each day. She would wave or give a hug. She was a beautiful young girl.

I had the privelege of of knowing Sabrina Thomas. She was a very outgoing young lady. I would see her everyday at school. I even had the privelege of having her on my bus a time or two. She was a talker as am I. I can remember we talked until I let her off at her stop which was the last. Sabrina kept me informed of everything that was happening. I will miss your smiling face Sabrina. My deepest syphathy to the Thomas family. I don't have any special words during this time of sorrow just know that I am here and I'm praying for your family.
