Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Good memories will give you strength . . . Arden & Jeff

Rev. Thompson was a special mentor when he was chair of the Grace Prebyterian Village Board. He provided insight regarding the Prebytery as well as how to build relationships with the churches. I felt priveleged to have served at the time he chaired the Board.

I have thought of him often after leaving the Village.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss when Melissa left me a message. I want you to know you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I can still remember as children Melissa, Elizabeth and I playing at their house down the street from where we all grew up. If there is anything I can do, please let me know. I love you all and hope to see you soon. Love always...Alanna (Eastridge) Moon

Jim our hearts are with you and your family. The memorial service and Linda's rememberance of your father was beautiful. I thank your father for the only church we ever new and the fun times and crazy songs at vacation bible school. You know we're here if you need a friend..love always the Brawleys..

Bill and I are forever grateful to have known Bob Thompson; that doesn't exclude, Betty Jo, of course. We have just returned from his memorial service in Elliott Hall at HPPC, and were overwhelmed by it; it was truly a service filled with love. Just think of the number of people whose life he has touched, and changed. We will miss him.

Betty Jo and Family,
It is with true love and affection that I remember Bob and I will never forget the Maundy Thursday Service at Emmanuel where Bob helped me see the way and come to accept Jesus Christ in my life. I will never forget the Last Supper as he presented it and what it meant to me. When we saw him at Grannybelle's funeral, it was like a breath of fresh air the short time I was able to talk to him. Again, His words meant so much to not only myself, but to Carol, Jane, and...

I am saddened to hear of Rev. Thompson's passing. He had a huge impact on my life when I attended church in Sherman, and he married my husband and me. May God comfort you in this time of sorrow.
Sincerely,
Deb Robinson Cates

Dear Betty Jo and family - Bob was such a special person and a wonderful minister. I'll never forget his faithful, loving visits to my grandmother in the hospital. I know Bob will be warmly remembered by everyone whose life he touched for his deep compassion and selfless giving. He was a truly dedicated Christian man who brought comfort to so many people. It's a joy that he was able to publish his book which continues to be a great source of comfort to those who read it. May God surround...

Dear Betty Jo and family - much love and prayers to you all at this time. Bob was such a wonderful caring gift from God to my parents for which I will always treasure. You all are in my prayers.
