Garner and Thomas Family, It is said that when you cry, you cry alone, but that isn't true. The sadness you are feeling is felt by loved ones around you. Our loss here on earth, is the LORD's gain in Heaven. May you find comfort in knowing that you're not alone, God is watching over you. "For I am thy God, I will strengthen thee, I will help thee."

To the Family of Shekita Garner Thomas:
Although I knew Shekita for such a short time as a colleague at LSUHSC, her kindness and friendliness touch me and many others. Shekita was a kind soul that always had something good to say about a given situation. So to the family, I wish to convey my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. And remember she is not dead, but asleep within the lord. God Bless you and you entire family!
