Larry, Nene, Kenny, Bernadette, family. Chilli was the patriarch. He was the solid cornerpost of any family gathering I ever went to. He lived a full and vibrant life, and I will miss him. I know that he had a deep belief in his relationship to God and this just have comforted him over the years. I pray for God's blessings on all the family during this time of transition. Gary Beal

Bernadette, Ken and Family,

I was so sorry to read of Mr. Thomasy's passing. What a wonderful couple he and your mom were! I think of them now in light of the scripture passage about bearing fruit "even in old age" because of their devotion to the faith and openness to the work of the Holy Spirit through the charismatic and other renewal movements. May you be comforted by the knowledge that they are together with the Lord and hearing Him say, "Well done, good and faithful servants."

Blessings,
