Karen and Linda,

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Thomas's passing, although I know he is in a far better place. I have always had great respect for your dad and your mom.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Thomas. I worked with him back in the early 80's at Winn Dixie. He was a kind, gentle, and caring person.

I was very sorry to learn of Verlon's passing. My prayers are with the family. I knew him as "Verlon" for many years while he was with Winn-Dixie and I with Gilman Paper. Never met a nicer person.

Dad,
I have a lifetime of memories of you, I hold them in my heart as a treasure. You are in the presence of our Lord now...all things have become clear...I will see you again on the other side of life. I will embrace you again with all the love that only God knows I have had for you all along.

your loving daughter,

I shall never forget your kindness, Mr. Thomas. You were always a gentle loving presence in my childhood as the father of my very best friend. I'm so sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to you. You'll always be in a special place in my heart.
