Sallie, was a pillar of strength and reliability to our community, with her daycare Sallie´s Loveland.

A Dependable, Caring, Extremely Clean, Safe, Loving and good food daycare. No worries for me being a first time mother and feeling very comfortable leaving my children, while I worked.

The world has experienced a great lost. Rest well. You were the absolute best.

To Lucious, and family you all are in my daily prayers.

Growing up and living next door, I remember Mrs. Thomas as a respected neighbor who cared for the community. She loved children and even took care of my daughter as a baby in her daycare. My deepest sympathy goes out to the Thomas family, may you find peace in this difficult time.

Mrs. Thomas was a long time family friend of my fiance and I was blessed to have met her. Despite only knowing Sallie a few short years, I will always have an adoring and life long memory of her in my heart. She was as real as they come and "cared for others" is an understatement in regards to her kindness. Mrs. Sallie Kate Thomas, you will be deeply missed. Rest in heavenly piece dear one.

I have known Sallie for many years. I worked for her at her Daycare Center. I was not only her employee, but through the years we became family. She was a good hearted person who always tried to help others. I loved her as a sister and she truly will be missed.
