Add A Condolence

I worked with Sister at Rosedale for many years. I did not know she had passed until Feb 2019. The light of the world is a little dimmer knowing she is no longer here. She spoke so highly of her family and her love for everyone, and I remember the sorrow she felt when she lost her mother as well as Tabitha. Take comfort in knowing they are together again and the separation is only temporary. Holly

Dear Thomas Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Times like this can be very difficult to deal with. At times, you may feel like there is no one to turn to. You may even feel like no one understands your pain. But there is one person we can turn to that can help us through all of our trials. Yes, God can help you during this difficult time. Pray to him constantly and he will help you. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4 Isa. 26:19)

Praying for you all.May you all find peace in knowing she is with the Father! Sister was always a warm loving person. She welcomed you into the CFC family with opened arms and a beautiful smile! Rest on Sister until we meet again! Marisa Roberson
