To the Thomas Family,
My heart was deeply saddened when I heard of the passing of my beloved friend Lay Lay. He was the best classmate ever!!
God makes no mistakes and I would never question him but this one here is so heartbreaking. Lamont will truly be missed. To his loving parents and family; “Earth Has No Sorrow that Heaven cannot Heal.”
Praying the Lord will give you all the strength and comfort you’ll need during this difficult time of bereavement.♥
Heaven has gained a true and faithful servant,
Lamont M. Thomas.

I’m sooo sorry this happened to you.. it seems like God is taking all the good ones to be with him, he must really need you there. I’ve known you my whole life Lamont, we grew up on the same street, u taught me how to sign my signature in cursive, every time I sign my name I’ve thought of you. You’ve always been the sweetest person with the prettiest smile and I will never forget you. I love you my friend, rest and enjoy the paradise.. until I see you again!❤
