Uncle Thomas, you were truly a blessing to our family. Whenever he heard that "Uncle Thomas" was coming to town, we made sure we went to Anniston. We could always count on having a great time. You are now reunited with Big Daddy, Big Momma, Thomas Jr., and other family members. We will truly miss you.
