Thomas family you have my deepest sympathy. Miss Thomas lived for her family. She was the prayer warrior for St. Anthony Street. If I needed prayer, I would call Lisa and have Miss T. put me on the prayer line. I knew she had a direct line to Jesus. Thank you for always making me feel special and a part of the family T. You will be missed.
