  3. Although Uncle Thomas & MaMa Vernon were actually not related, my family felt that they have always been a part of us. They started keeping my children when my youngest was 3 months old. The two older boys loved going to their house & getting to feed & see the farm animals. Thomas was the most Godly, hard working, funniest, & sweetest man I have ever known. He will truly be missed on this earth. So, until we meet again, May you Rest In Peace our dear friend. ?????????

  4. When I think of Bro. Thomas I think of “Father Abraham.” When we were little he would always sing that song with us kids. We will definitely miss him. Love and prayers to the family.
