Hi Mrs. Thomas, always called you Mrs. Thomas, LOL!  
I think about you almost every day for one reason or the other.   Susie and I watch over each other as always and will alway be there for each other so don't you worry!  She misses you terribly but has peace knowing you are in no pain or suffering.  Thank you for being there for ME so many times when I was much younger.  Your laughter, your love of life, your love of Christmas, your love of riding us around with the top down and laughing all of the way.  THANK YOU and LOVE as always!!  Mary Jane

Hi Mom, yesterday while I was swimming , there were more than usual birds everywhere , I figured that you sent them . 
I did my last Realestste transaction this last Tuesday , I felt immediate lightness to myself. It’s become a real challenging field  to be in and I’m so glad I’m retired,  for real.
I miss you , like you said I would 😘😇

You would be real proud of me, I pray, and work every day on being a better person.

I love you and can’t wait to see you again maybe not sooner but for sure later
Your  daughter, Susie 

Hi Mom, three years yesterday , doesn’t seem that long , I guess because I talk to you everyday . Love and Miss you . 
Your loving  daughter , Susie 
PS , Mary Jane also talks about you and her Mom often !❤️

Hi Mrs Thomas, I always called you Mrs Thomas.  Remember your convertible car, a Skylark I think, I am sure Susie will let me know if I am wrong.  I remember the laughter you, Susan, and I, all had while riding around with the top down.   And how many times did Susie and I walk to your office from Landon??  Just little bits of fun and memories!  Susie and I take care of each other everyday!!  Love and miss you always.  Say Hi to my Momma Marie for me and Susie too!


Merry Christmas Mom and Dad 
I love and miss y’all so much

Hi Mrs Thomas,  I am thinking about you this morning because you always loved Christmas and your Christmas tree!  I see Susie gave you a report of the Celebration of Life,  in your honor!!!  It really was wonderful, as I know that you know, because you were right there with us all, and I knew that you were.  Susie cooked everything you loved, and what Al loved and what Dude loved and what Jack loved, and it was spectacular!
The family was all there, and so many friends.  And Susie, Mary and Shirley together, wow!  Your Susie made your life shine.  You were an inspiration for all of us and Susie passed it on to the younger ones to see and remember as well!  Happy New Year! Love you!  Mary Jane

Moms’ memorial was the best , that little house on Milmar was packed with friends and family. My dear friend Mary stepped up to the plate and made it possible as I was overwhelmed. The food , especially the gravy, was spot on .  It was a great celebration. 
Mom will join Dad at Greenlawn soon .  The changes will include a  flower vase for family and friends to visit . 
Love ❤️ 😘 you MaMa, your Susie Q

Mary Jo was my mother's (Mary Smith Hamilton) good friend from a long time ago when they were both young women.  Dave and I always enjoyed the special times when our family would drive to the Southside (from the Westside) to visit. While our parents caught up with the latest in each other's lives, we kids would hang out and catch up on the latest in each other's lives. I remember building a fort and waging mostly friendly wars, girls against boys, of course.
Mary Jo and all of the Thomases have been a very welcome part of my childhood and late adulthood, especially after my mom passed away in 2013. Mary Jo, you are well loved and will be missed by all!

Mom, you were so right , I miss you !! ❤️Susie

Mary Jo Thomas was my friend, my role model and my grandmother. 

I knew her as "Namoo" for as long as I can remember. I would always get excited when I saw her and spent time with her.  She had a very bright and happy demeanor that was contagious. 

As I remember her, I think about the long talks we had about life. She loved to tell us stories and experiences from her own life, and I always loved listening to them. Hearing the excitement in her voice made them all the more interesting. She was a very hard-working woman, who accomplished an exceptional number of achievements. One of which was being an amazing grandmother and friend to me.

She would always ask about me first when I saw her, and what was going on in my life. She was a very selfless person. I always enjoyed keeping her updated, and she was so happy for me everytime. Her support gave me confidence and added ambition in multiple facets of my life. 

I love you very much, Namoo. I miss you. I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to have had you in my life. I will carry your spirit and memory with me always. 

With a happy heart,

Walker Thomas

95 years of sweetness in this world. You were blessed with a wonderful mom. It’s been soooooo many years since I’ve seen Mrs. Thomas but I can still hear her laugh. Love to you, Dude and Alfie. Know you’re all in my heart and prayers. Miss u. Condolences from John also. 😘

Always a kind word and full of love, made us feel like family.   I will always remember that beautiful smile.  RIP Mrs. Thomas. ♥️💜

Mom,  though I will miss you very much, I am happy for you being in a better place. You lived a long and healthy life and you were the best Mom I could of ever had for 66 years. I have so many great memories of you and I will never forget you. You were such a kind person to everyone you met always with a smile. God Bless you and I Love You very much.
Your loving son ,  Al

Mary Jo Thomas was always an inspiration to me. She was an incredibly strong and caring women. She raised three great children that led to my eventual birth. As my brother and I called her “Namoo” was always a source of comedic relief and constantly radiating love and compassion. She will be dearly missed and always have a spot in my heart and the others that I know she affected their lives in positive ways only.
Rest In Peace Namoo.

 Dear Susie, I know you will miss your mom terribly.  She was a woman to be missed.  I remember going to your house when we were in elementary and Jr. High and your mom was always so interesting and such fun to be around.  I loved the way she would throw her head back and laugh out loud.  I know you have some wonderful memories...cherish them.
Love to you and the family,
Shirley

Mrs. Thomas, we will always miss you.  Your sense of humor,  your smile and your love for Susie and Me too!  You encouraged us to be silly, dress in funny cloths and costumes, make our hair funny and makeup too!  Great memories ingrained in my mind!  You taught me to make chicken and yellow rice and you had a special way to make spaghetti!   Mix it all together, sauce, meat and pasta and it was ready to eat!!  Now or when you came home!  You were Blessed with your Susie!  The two of you had great adventures and she never left you behind!  I am thankful for Susie and Jack who share their lives to the end of yours!  Happy Trails Mrs. Thomas!  I love you!!  Mary Jane

Mama, 
Alaska , wow what fun we had for 14 days  all because of you and selling 10 pairs of breeding parrots 🦜, I remember we were suckers and bought every picture they managed to take of us . Remember the champagne they delivered to us and after it was half gone we noticed it was delivered to us by mistake . 
Love ❤️ you Susie Q
