From the sister of dear Thompsine Newman, I offer to each of you sincere blessings and words of appreciativeness for thoughtfulness, encouragement, words of wisdom and concerns. I along with the sisters, Choica Bradley and Tawni Sherman; mother, Beckie Sherman and brother, Randle Sherman contine to solicit your prayers and support as we endeavor to perhaps accept the recent homegoing of Thompsine. It is ever so very difficult to not be able to pick up the phone and share a conversation of laughter!! Within a two hour limit, she and I solved problems of the world, yet we had time to exchange ideas of decorating and fashions!!! How I miss my sis already. To make the three hour drive from Houston and not phone to share with her that I am home again from a safe drive down IH 10 has been most challenging and hurtful... My love, Thompsine will be forever dearly missed more than words or the many tears continued to flow be wiped dry. A million thanks and more to each of you for your expressions to the family in Houston, in Texas and

throughout the continental United States. God's blessings to you and your loved ones this day and forever.

I only met Mrs. Newman once, but in that one meeting, she made an impression on me. She was a woman of faith, integrity, and wisdom. Dear family, my prayer for you is that the Lord would comfort you as only He can do. We don't have to grieve as people who do not know the Lord, for as long as you remain in the family of God, you are assured to be be re-united with Tommie one day. Cleave to the Lord for He is the only "real" strength that we can call upon when we travel through life's sorrowful & grievous moments. Know that "Tommie" has made it to her eternal home and has finished the race. Tommie has not gone...she has only changed locations.

"The race is not given to the swift or to the strong, but to the one that endures until the end". I could not believe what my mom told me yesterday. My heart is weary. Mrs. Tommi, my other mother for whole year and then some God never makes a mistake. I am happy to know that you are safe in his arms. As i sit here and type beautiful memories of you playing in my hair and making me up to be cute for Little Donnie brings a smile to my face. It make me very proud to say that i was apart of you and your families life. Dad, be strong in the Lord, for he will comfort you. Dannon, continue to do what made your mom proud let the music live and breath for her. Matt, trouble don't last always be strong and keep your faith and don't be afraid to lean on others for comfort. Donnie, you are a blessed man and you have a wonderful mother who loved you sooo much. Just remember to look towards the hill which cometh your help. As you said in your first sermon, trials may come, winds may blow, the storm may be rough, but HOLD ON! If you ever need "Gizmo" or me, Im one call away.



Love Alaways
