THANK YOU

To Rev Mark Thomas and Mrs. Thomas and to my Greater New Guide Church Family, tears are rolling up in my eyes as I write this “Thank you note”. My family and I thank you all so much for the kind words, gifts, phone calls, texts, prayer and taking your time to drive up to Shreveport, La to my brother's funeral. Your condolences are heartfelt. Thank you all so much!
