Guest Book

Family and Friends of Stedderick Bernard Thomas: "A good name is to be chosen rather than great wealth; to be respected is better than silver and gold." (Proverbs 22:1). As all these posted messages stated, Stedderick made a good name for himself with people and with God. So for right now, let us view death as Jesus did while he was on earth: "Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I am traveling there to awaken him." Then he said plainly to his disciples: "Lazarus has died." (John 11:11-14). Be assured, Jesus will soon awaken Stedderick. Our deepest sympathy for your loss! The Carter Family.
