Donna and Elizabeth sorry to hear about your dear one passing away. You all are in our prayer's.
My sympathy goes out to the entire family. So sorry for your loss....while I didnt know Thomas very much I saw him occasionally in passing....a life short lived.
I am so deeply sorry to hear about the death of Thomas. What precious memories of Thomas for many years in my youth group at Calvary Baptist Church, now Summit. I so remember him telling others about Christ , on a youth mission trip to Rochester, New York. We had VBS for hundreds of children and middle school ages. Thomas was so faithful to help with every single fundraiser for youth ministries, that we had. I could go on and on, Job Well Done, Thou Good and Faithful Servant, Thomas. Love, Edna Golding Buff or to Thomas, Mrs. G
