Thinking of you at this time and trusting God will continue to strengthen the Thomas Family and give you peace. I remembered Mrs. Thomas served us lunch in the cafeteria at Bethany Elementary School. As I was looking in my 1967 year book from Bethany I reflected on her picture. God has gained another Sweet and beautiful Angel.
