I didn't know Lisa personally but she taught my daughter in high school. She used to come home from school and talk about how great of a teacher and a person she was. Just remember to keep the wonderful memories of Lisa alive and know that she will be looking down on all of you. Remember God takes the good ones and I will be praying for the whole family.

She was my Algebra teacher in high school. She was a sweet woman with a beautiful smile. Always so soft spoken and yet she got her point across. She will be missed greatly. I pray for her family and friends and that the grief of losing such a wonderful person eases a little bit more for everyone every day.

I had the pleasure of being one of Mrs. Thomas' students and can honestly say that she was one of the best people that i have ever met. She always went that extra step to make sure that your memories of high school were good ones. She touched me in a way that i will always hold dear in my heart. My prayers are with her family.

Mrs. Thomas was one of my teachers in high school. She was wonderful!! When many of my teachers judged me for being pregnant,she didn't. She was always understanding, non-judgemental, helpful, and caring. She will be dearly missed! Her family will be in my thoughts and prayers! May God bless you all with peace!

I am truly blessed to have known Lisa Thomas. Not only did she teach me math for several years, she taught me that a smile and a little compassion can go along way. She is one of very few teachers that touched my heart. I wanted to be a better student and a better person because of her. There are not enough words in any language that could sum up Lisa's life. She was an extraordinary person who will be missed for many, many years to come. My heart and prayers are with her and her family. May you find the strength you need to carry on, and the will to keep her memory alive.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a great woman. I never had Mrs. Thomas as a teacher but worked with her for many things including Yclub while in high School. She was always the sweetest person. Your family will be in my Prayers.

Mrs. Thomas was a wonderful person and teacher. She will be missed dearly. God Bless!

Vicki Franklin

November 2, 2006

I had Mrs. Thomas for 2/4 of my maths and she was my advisor all four years of high school (c/o 2002). She was truly the most kind and patient person that i ever knew. The news of her passing has hurt me deeply. Screven County lost a very good teacher and she can never be replaced. If only all teachers were like her, students would succeed more than they do today. She cared so much about her students..more than any other teacher that i have ever had. I am hurting for her family. I will be praying for them especially for her husband and four young children. She loved them very much! To the whole family I will be praying for you all and keeping you in my thoughts.

Words could never begin to express the sadness that I know each of you must feel from this tragic loss. You can certainly feel proud of how Lisa touched the lives of everyone who knew her, as evidenced by the responses in this guest book. I've known Lisa for many years, and I never remember seeing her without a smile on her face. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. Lisa always seemed so happy, and was the perfect example of a Christian wife and mother that we should all strive to be. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you go through this difficult time. I hope that you will find some comfort in knowing the postive role model that she was for all who knew her and the wonderful example that she set for those people that she met during her life.

Michael Brown

November 1, 2006

I remember when I had Ms. Thomas for math. I had a hard time with math and alot of students in my class. No matter what though she always seemed to have a comforting aura about her and she made you feel welcomed in her classroom. I know there was never another teacher that when you walked by her or him , that you could sense how at peace they were with their spirituality. Its hard as a student to realise that teachers are real people until something like this happens unfortunatly. We should remember that our teachers are real people..and they have real families, real worries, real problems, but most of all real love and a real life. May god bless this family and her friends. She will be deeply missed. However, she has won the race, and is now rewarded in heaven.

Nancy Brannen

November 1, 2006

You are in my thoughts and prayers. If I can help in any way, please don't hesitate to call.

Austin & Cassie Mobley

November 1, 2006

Ms. Lisa was my math teacher in 1997. Math was never my strong point but she was always willing to help me, even if it meant staying after school to get me ready for an upcoming test. To the family, words can not express how sorry I am for your loss, but take comfort in the memories that she has left behind and know that everyone that she came in contact with, she left a permanent impression on...a positive one! We loved her and will miss her! Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers!

Latrell Lawrence

And beyond the far horizon when we finally will be together where love will be eternal and life will last forever.... I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS....

I do not know the family but feel that my life has been touched by her care and kindness as I have read the words written by others who knew her. You were blessed with Lisa on this earth and now she will guide you from Heaven above.

Annette Bragg

November 1, 2006

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My daughter, Megan, was in Lisa's class this year. Megan described to her father and I how caring and patient Lisa was with her students. She was always quick to help them and encouraged them to do their best. She will be sorely missed by the students at SCHS.

She was a great mom, a caring friend, and a devoted Christian, whom I know gave so much to our community.

Thank you, Lisa, for setting an example of God's love to everyone around you. Thank you for being kind and helpful to my daughter, and for showing your students how God's character looks, talks, and lives through our daily walk and the legacy we leave behind. May God bless your family, and may He comfort them in their time of suffering.

Warren and Maryann,
It just does'nt seem real,I still just dont believe it, I looked at pictures all day yesterday when we were little girls having a tea party, and remmembered when we wrecked granpas lawn mower into his grape vine, scared to death to go tell, I just cant believe it, but I know God does things for reasons that sometimes we can not understand, Lisa was a very good person and will be GREATLY missed.I looked at her and always was proud because she acomplished so much in her life giving everything she had to everything she accomplished, her family with 4 beautiful children, her work in which she obviously gave a lot of her time, and her love for God and her church in which she also devoted a lot of time too. I only wish I could be the person she was!!! She led a model life that anyone who knew her or did'nt know her would be proud of! To Maryann and Warren , Lisa will be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you, Love you all
