I am saddend by the loss of one of the Lord's Special Angels. He was my professor and one of the nicest and spirit filled person that I have ever met. I will always remember 2 of his favorite statements in class. 1.No text without context. 2. I am just a natural man. He was indeed one of God's finest. He will surely be missed. May the Lord continue to bless the Thomas Family.

It's true that when He calls we have to answer. And its not up to us to question the providence of Our Father's timing. I just miss my pastor and my friend so much, though I know he is in a much better place, in the bosom of Our Lord. My heart and prayers go out to his family and to our congregation during this difficult time.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Jeff's passing. We were classmates in the MDiv program at Claremont School of Theolgy, and I have very happy memories of Jeff, his passion and answer to Call. I am confident that though his loss to the world is great, Jeff is safely in the eternal embrace of our Lord!

I love Pastor Thomas. He was my professor and my friend. Pastor Thomas embodied the fruit of the spirit and his compassion was boundless. He only had to know there was a need and he did his level best to meet it. His work ethic was phenomenal. Pastor Thomas'legacy will remain as one to emulate. GOD blessed him with gifts of high intellect,flawless articulation,vocabulary retention and brilliance, and the ability to understand how things work. He was always ready, willing, and able to help. So family, church family, and friends, as we mourn his passing from this place, GOD is our refuge, comfort, and stay. Pastor Thomas was about moving forward by faith, and he wants us to follow his lead, and we will. He has already been greeted in heaven by GOD and his loved ones who have gone on before us. His spirit remains. THANK YOU JESUS.

My heart hurt as tho he were my child. Rev Smith, his mom, have so much to be proud of. My last conversation with him, I
thank him for helping the Trustee Board of Trinity. He replied "We must help each
other". He were all about unity. A strong black man! Gone too soon!

I was blessed to be Dr. Thomas's colleague in the academy and in ministry. While I was shocked to hear of his transition, I am reminded that we do not mourn as those who have no hope. About two weeks ago I attended the library program he moderated, and saw how supportive his mother and church members were on that evening. May God grant us all comfort and peace.
