Willie Doll Thomas, entering eternal life Nov 11, 2006
As Catholics, we have a close relationship for the dead, praying for those in Purgatory and asking those in Heaven to pray for us. We honor Saints on numerous days throughout the year. There truly is a communion amongst us all.
Today, I post the obituary of my great-aunt, whose funeral I will miss. My family has been close to her's over the years, and I hate that I won't be in Jackson for any of the services... Please pray for the greater Thomas family. Thank you.
Willie Doll Thomas, 91, loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend passed away Saturday, November 11, 2006 at her home.

Visitation is 5-7 p.m. today with a Rosary at 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. Tuesday at the church.
