See Condolences

My condolences to the remaining families of Gene and Lil Thomas. My dad worked with Gene at J&L Steel. We would go up to their house to visit occasionally when we were just kids. I remember going into the barn and petting the pony and also "Jingles", the dog. Lil would sometimes make us iced tea. RIP Gene & Lil.

My sympathy to the family. Mrs. Thomas was a sweet lady and customer of my Mom (Sabrina Norton) for several years. Mrs. Thomas use to tell me stories of her family farm in Center and I remember her always having her white uniform on from work. May she rest in peace.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
