Kathy and Family,
I did not personally know Mrs. Thomas, but I know that she was an awesome woman. Having known and worked with Kathy now for over 20 years, I have a good idea of who Mrs. Thomas was because I know it is reflected in Kathy. I will keep y’all in my daily prayers in the days and weeks ahead, and I pray that you will feel the peace provided by God that surpasses comprehension.
Sincerely,
