Granddad, I am going to miss those strong, reassuring hugs that you always gave me! Everytime I think of you I always remember your quiet strength. When I was little, I would always come sit with you to watch T.V. upstairs because I knew that wherever Granddad was, there would be some peace and quiet! As the good Lord said, "peace be still" and I know that you are now resting with our Father--in peace. I love you, Granddad.

Love,
Angela

To Mrs. Thompson, Art, and Robert,
Deacon Thompson was a good man that loved life and was a beacon to the youth of the Roanoke Valley. I remember coming to your home and hanging out with Robert during my high school years. Mr. Thompson will truly be missed, but know that he has gone to a better place and that everyone will see him again some day.

To the Thompson family:
Sorry for your lost may God be with you.
