Thornton Family:
My heart was so heavy when I got the news that Mr. Thornton had passed away. I still can't believe that he is gone; but to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Mr. Thornton truly, truly was a wonderful person and a devout family man and servant of God. And now that his work is done, God has called his angel home. Mrs. Thornton, Doug, Drue, Dorian, Darrin and the entire Thornton family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dr. Thornton was genuine, honest and fun-loving. We were so blessed by the opportunity to meet him, you and your family. His office...
