Notes and messages

I love my dad! I am so sorry for his leaving me.

I will miss him so much, I will mourn him everyday.

No one is to blame
His death was meant to be
Don't carry guilt or shame
The reason for his time here was meant to be
We see or soon will see
the bonds and ties of his existence
I realize with love comes pain
With sun comes rain
With life comes family that will grow

Time will move on and we will all realize that we were rewarded and blessed through the man William Anthony Thomas that we grew to know

LaDonna Bell, 27 October 2008

To my father William Anthony Thomas
I miss you, When I heard about your death
I did not know what to do or say I cried with tears of sadness and joy
happy that the struggle is over with you.
2 Corinthians 5.8 say we are confident, yes well please rather to be absent from the body and to be
present with the Lord
Rest in peace
Dad I love you
Your Daughter Sarah
