Thomas Durant

Uncle Tommy,

God has called you home and even though I wasn't there, I know that you knew that we loved and appreciated you very much. You will always be an inspiration to me.

Shaun Edwards & Family (Okinawa, Japan)

Salana,
My heart is still heavy since Lena called me with the news about Tommy. Girl, I feel so weak talking about him. I spoke to him many times since your mom died. He sounded very strong, and intelligent as usual, with a heavy heart about Marshitha. We also spoke about you, and how well you were handling your mom's death.
Tommy sent me many letters of encouragement back in the 70's when I were in school. I still remember the beautiful stationeries he wrote on remimding me to...

Salanna and family, May Our Lord and Saviour be with you during these difficult times. May God comfort you and grant you the spirit of peace during your time of sorrow. There are no words to express the lost of a parent.
My thoughts and prayers are with you always! Trust in the Lord and HE shall strengthen your heart!

To the Family of Tommy He was a dear friend to me and a brother in Christ. There have been many times in the past,I thought I would be writing about this moment. but as you would say Tommy, I have been blessed and so you are blessed to be a child of the most high King. goodnight my friend. I will see you in the morning. love Your sister in christ. Etheline casey mizell whom you lovingly called (Lena)

I have never met a more extraordinary man than Thomas Durant. Each time I visited him, he was glad to give God praise, honor and glory. As a chaplain, each time I visited him I left feeling as though I was the one ministered to.

Surely Thomas has heard the words, "Well done, My good and faithful servant! Enter in to the joy of the Lord."

Rest my friend, in the eternal arms of our Father's goodness and blessings. I will miss you, but I will see you soon.
