She was a amazing person

I had the pleasure of working side by side to Ms. Ti. She was such a sweetheart. We had long conversations while we waited for the children to arrive. She would talk to me about her family, her childhood, her little Sammy, and give me advice and encouragement when I needed it. Ms. Ti felt like family to me. She was truly a beautiful soul always looking for a way to help and give back. She talked about her family with such passion. I could tell how much she loved each and everyone of her children, grandchildren, and her family in general. I am truly thankful to have met her and to have so many great memories!
My sincere condolences to the family.
I will truly miss you Ms. Ti and I will cherish all our conversations, and my three little angels that you gave me one christmas to look over me. May you Rest in Peace.

She was a wonderful friend and neighbor who cared for my children as though they were her own grandchildren! What a blessing since we had no local grandparents! We will miss you, Grandmother. Rest In Peace.

Thanks to Ti, I was the luckiest working mom in the world while my son Alex spent happy childhood days at Ti and Albert's lovely home on Nelson Street, just around the corner. She was the most wonderful, kind, and caring person, and I am forever thankful for knowing her.

Ti brought a consistent, reliable and comforting presence to the infants and toddlers of Cherrydale UMC for years. Her love was a gift to young parents as well. She was faithful and kind, and it was a pleasure to serve on the church staff with her for 8 of her many years at Cherrydale. Well done, good & faithful servant.

Ti Thompson was a key piece of care at Cherrydale United Methodist Church. She devoted her Sunday mornings to child care for more than three decades of children. Her gentle presence, her kind welcome, and her dependability created an atmosphere of love for children and their families. She is remembered with gratitude and joy.

Ti Thompson was an active member of our Church, Cherrydale United Methodist, for some 50 years. She also was a wonderfully kind, reliable and efficient Nursery Attendant for us over several decades. It was always a pleasure to interact with her during that time. And all of us at the Church will remember Ti's service and miss her greatly. God bless.
