Gwen, my prayers are with you during this time of loss. When we were in grammar school, Farris used to come over and we would do our homework together.
May God Bless you and your family.

Condolences to the Thomas family. In the late 1950's my wife and I were classmates of Dr. Thomas at Georgia Southern College. We took several classes together and became friends at that time. I have not heard from Dr. Thomas since our graduation but when I recall the days of college he is one fellow-student that stands out in my memory. May God bless you all at this time.
