At Peace

Dad passed away tonight to be with his Lord and Savior. He passed peacefully with Mom, Audrey and I by his side. We are saddened that he is no longer with us, but take comfort in the fact that he is in a better place and is at peace.

We are grateful to all the friends and family that have helped us and prayed for us along the way. This has been quite a journey and now we will attempt to say goodbye and begin healing our hearts.

Services will be at 10:30 am on Wednesday, Nov 26th at the Kiowa United Methodist Church. Lanman Funeral Home will be handling the services. The memorial we have selected has actually just been recently named for him. It is the Monty Thompson Continuing Education Foundation. There will be information regarding this through the Funeral Home and their website at http://lanmanmemorials.com. They probably won't have information posted until late tomorrow as we meet with them at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Thanks again for all your love and support.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He was a special person and will be sorely missed. The strength and courage he showed through this cancer battle was incredible and a lesson for us all. We're thinking of you.

I know that God is with all of you and most wonderfully with your Dad as he now has no pain just God's wonderful warm light showering him. Peace be with all of you at this time.
