Where do you start with such a heavy heart? Even though Thad and I were first cousins we were never as close as I wish now we could have been. Things in Life happen and families become seperated and rarely see each other, but I still Loved him as I do each member of my family that is left! I see a resemblence between Thad and my son, Bryan, right down to there smile and each time I see Bryan I shall always remeber Thad. To Kitty, you will always be my Aunt Kitty no matter what! I Love you and pray for you every day, May God give you strength to endure the days ahead, and the endurance to care for those four Beautiful Little Girls!! I wish you, Tye and Beverly all the best throughout your grief and beyond.To my Uncle Wilburn, I Love You so much and know that your heart is broken right now, but please know that you are Loved and we suffer with you at this most difficult time. I will continue to pray for you and Betty and, ask God to give you both the strength to endure the days ahead of you. To Olivia, Lydia, Emma and Jenna, you are all a precious gift from God and he will comfort you and keep you safe and strong. Your father loved you more than "Life" and will always be with you in your times of need. Just look into your hearts and minds and remember all that he was to you and everything he taught you about Life and God.My selfish heart wishes I could see Thad today, but I know he wouldn't want to return here after all that he has now beheld. He was a true Man of God and reflected that in everything he did, Family, Friends, at Work and at Play. Even total strangers know his name, if not him personally, that was the kind of person he was. I regret that we didn't have a closer relationship, but I Will See Him Again One Fine Day!! Rest in Peace Thad, for I can only imagine for now what your eyes have beheld!!
