I've known Mrs. Thompson for less than a year. Her smile/spirit left a lasting impact on many of us at JKM. I shall miss singing and reading with her. A diamond so precious and rare was she to me. Godspeed my smiling friend

My deepest sympathy to the Thompson Family in the loss of your loved one and a life well-lived. Please find comfort in knowing God is close to the brokenhearted. May the God of all comfort give you peace, strength and hope to endure in the days ahead (Jeremiah 29:11,12).
