To the Thompkins Family: May the Lord give you the strength while dealing with your loss. You are in my prayers. I have written a poem that I would like to share: God has chosen to take you away, and we continue to ask, "why?" Not realizing you're in a better place, left with no more reasons to cry. Yes it is hard to no longer have you here, but spiritually in our hearts is where you'll always be kept near. All we can do now is cherish each moment we've shared with you, and continue to be strong just as you would want us to. "I Thank My God For Rememberance Of You." Phillippians 1:3

Kathy,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Take comfort in knowing that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is in complete control. May God Bless and Keep You. Psalms 62:2.. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

Words cannot express how my heart aches. Kathy, Arthur loves you deeply and though he can no longer be with you physically, he will always be that angel watching over you and those whom he loved and cherished. May God be with you all. I'm so sorry for your loss.
