Condolences
I am very sorry to hear of
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs. Thomas. I image she was an amazing woman. I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is Isaiah 26:19, which says, "Your dead will live... Awake and shout joyfully, you residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of the morning, and the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you, and I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved mother. Sincerely, Meryl

Sorry for your loss
To the Thomas family,
I was sadden to hear of the loss of your mom. Whenever I would see her around Parkesburg, she would always stop and ask about our family and reminisce about our times living next to your family on First Ave. in Parkesburg during the late 70's and 80's. Your mom was always cheerful and positive. I will miss her smile. Please know that you are in our prayers.
