Waken up this morning with a Family in mind....The Thomas Family in Metz West Virginia, who lost a Daughter, Sister and A Mother and Best Friend to my cousin's Loretta, and to many others. A shocker to learn late last night she passed away in the arms of Jesus during the night, She was a strong tower in the family. We will miss her strong laughter who rang out in the hills of her native West Virginia. Rest in Peace Barbara Slay....Go rest high on the Mountain...you are home now.
