Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I would just like to say that Myrtle Thomas was an amazing woman who meant a great deal to me in my life. She was such an inspiration throughout the years. I will NEVER forget how she helped me with my brother when he was sick. She was an awesome grandmother to mine and Courtlon’s two children, Joshua and Taylor. Myrtle was and has been a true friend to me throughout all these years. I looked to her as a mother. Even though circumstances took me in another direction in my life Myrtle remained a dear, true part of my life. I will truly miss her. She is in a much better place now. God bless Albert Thomas and all his family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers…. Love in Christ, Nancy B Thomas

Few things in life will ever affect us more deeply than the death of a loved one. Afterwards, you may have to be contending with a range of emotions that you never before experienced. Death affects each person differently. Indeed, the Bible says that each one has his own plague & his own pain.(2 Chron. 629) Crying is not a sign of weakness. Even such strong men as Abraham, Joseph, David, & Jesus shed tears when they were grieving.- Gen. 232; Gen. 501; 2 Samuel 111,12; Samuel 1833; John 1135. Grief can be like waves that crashed ashore at unexpected moments. This is normaleven if it occurs years after your loved ones death. Dont hold back the tears! Crying helps ease the pain of grief. People grief in different ways. The important thing is this If you feel tears welling up, realize that it may be A time to weep (Ecc. 34) Jesus Christ was a perfect man who had strong faith in God. Yet, he Gave way to tears over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) We can find much comfort through the help of the Bible. In time the grief will ease & you will be able to carry on, from one day to the next. I hope that these words will help you in your time of need
