Dear Family, Sorry to hear of our cousin Jereline's demise. We regret that we could not be there to comfort you in person. We remember her staying with our family and palying softball with our sisters, Miriam and Jean. It was always good to see her and the reflect on the "old days". Earth will miss her spirit, as will we. We pray for your comfort and trust that you will continue to exemplify her spirit.

I am so glad I had the opportunity to visit Nanny. She treated me like one of her own as she did many others. I have a picture that I took with her and I will cherish it for the rest of my days. The family always treated me as one of them. You do not have to be born into a family to be family and that is how the entire Thompson Family made me feel. Whenever I would visit she would call the rest of my sisters and they would come by. Rest well nanny. I know all of the Angels like you in Heaven are rejoicing to have you with them. ❤❤
