To The Thomas Family: We are so sorry for your loss. John was one of the best people that we have had the pleasure of knowing. We only regret not having met him and your mom sooner in life. They were so in sync with each other. They were the perfect match. Both cool, calm, collected and eager to help. Let’s not forget the meals that they prepared for the Masons and Shriners over the years. I know how good those were every time I step on a scale. We know and take comfort in that they are both together again. God Bless, Brian and Ginger Pellicano
Ken and Family: I am so sorry for your loss Ken. Through the years I have seen how you have taken such good care of your dad and mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know it is a difficult time, but we must hold on to all those good times and cherish them. You were blessed to have had your dad so long. Stay strong. P.S. We miss you at Green Meadows.
I met Phyllis and John in 1976, when they, as Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron, initiated both my late husband, Russell Gay and myself, into James W. Hannum Chapter of the Eastern Star. We had many good times together through the years. My condolences to the family.
