Dear Jeri - Jack and I were so sorry to hear of Thomas' passing. I know Ruth really appreciated the effort you made to check up on her while she still lived in LaRue and you were a special friend. She and Eston were probably waiting for Thomas to help his transition. We hope you can take comfort in the fact he's past all pain and in a better place.

Regards - Jack & Laura Williams - son of Ruth and Eston Williams
