Holidays / Pamela Thomas (Mother)
Some people say the Holidays are the worst for loosing a Love One but for me everyday is hard. Living on this earth without one of my sons is the toughest most hurtful thing my heart has ever endured. From the moment I first felt your kick to when I first held you I knew you were the most precious jewel along with Mikey another one of my jewels. But you were special to me in so many ways. Your caring concerns for your mother always first on your list not a day went by that we were not in tune. God knows I miss those days not just at Holidays but everyday always. My greatest hope is for us to be together again one day this time for eternity. You were good to so many and I know you were an angel My Angel for a short while here on earth but forever in my Heart. No that I love you so much and not a day go by that you are not in my mind heart and dreams. I love you Son forever. Continue to rest in peace until you are re-united with your family Close

My Precious Baby boy  / Pamela Thomas (Mom)

 MY SonMy Child My Baby Boy

They say there is a reason they say time will Heal .But neither time nor reason will change the way I feel for no one know the heartache behind my smiles no on know the countless times I've broke down and cried. It was wonderful having you in my life and unbearable living without you. If I could bring back yesterday when we were all together but tommorow started without you and I don't understand. I know your're in a better place but to let you go before me. I don't understand. Part of me died alone with you on April 17. 2005 to not cry like I did yesterday today and tommorow is not possible. Your memories are with me always in my heart every day for the rest of my life My Korey my Baby My Son.

Love Mom To You

It's Time to Rest  / Vonda Thomas (Aunt)


                   It's Time to Rest

Tribute to Korey "KT" Thomas

From the Seven Days of Genesis to the Seven Seals of Revelation, the Bible informs us that the number Seven
was God's number of completion.  On the Seventh Day,
God ended His work and RESTED!

Korey "KT"Thomas work has ended, he is RESTING!

I selected the month of July to pay tribute to my nephew.  I think it is a good time to honor his presence here on earth with us, and I want to publicly thank God for blessing us with Korey for 19 years.

To each of you who visit this page, don't rush through - take the time to share your memories with us, light a candle today, and each day for the next 6 days to show your love for Korey, on the 7th Day ... REST!

July is the "7th" month.  Korey passed, April "17th" 2005, three months prior to July.  If we think, study and apply the general Biblical principles, Korey's life was complete.
4 + 3 = 7 ... The "4th" month is April, Korey passed on the 17th day, by the way - Seventeen is SIGNIFICANT, it is not the multiple of any other number...Korey was not the multiple of any other person.  He had no children; he had no wife; however he had LOVE!

Korey gave us his love, he gave us his best
          Now...It's time for Korey to REST!
=======================================
Memory Lane of Korey's Timeline:

Parents, Gary and Pamela Thomas - loved him unconditional.  They respected him as their son, but today their love for their youngest child has never wavered and it will not die.

Korey's Grand-parents have the strength and family foundation, their nurturing has kept the glue for the family to stay together, and their love for him continues today, just like yesterday.

Korey's brother, Marlon Thomas, is the pillar of strength, the rock of Gibraltor, a true symbol of love, unity, loyalty, true "BROTHERHOOD!"

Korey's Sister-in-Law, Connie Thomas holds him close to heart...

Korey's nephew, Jaden Thomas, still remembers his uncle and speaks of him frequently...

Korey's nieces, Zhante and Brianna Thomas - love him immensely...

Korey's aunts, uncles, and cousins - think of him in happier times.  These are times of peace, harmony, love - good and bad times, and can always share words that include terms of endearment for "KT."

Korey Persevered ... Today is his time to REST!

April 2005, a young man, near and dear to my heart penned a song, entitled, "Funny How Time Flies."  I encourage each of you to listen to the words of that song, listen to the melody, listen to the love, listen to the passion, share his heartfelt pain and call him to share your fondest memories.

That man that I speak of is Korey's brother, Marlon.

Korey is SIGNIFICANT.  Hug someone today after you read this, in memory of Korey.  Three years ago, Korey walked these same streets with us, but he never made it to the month of July... His timeline ended, April 17, 2005.

Korey's presence is larger than life, his love is forever,
he gave  us his best, honor him today and he watches over us in Heaven, afterall, it's his time to REST!

Korey's LEGACY must continue...

Stop... say a prayer for Korey's family.
Think... of a day that Korey made you smile.
Remember... what Korey meant to you.
Finally... Light a candle in love and in truth.

Korey "KT" Thomas was the TRUTH!
Korey was SIGNIFICANT!
By Grace - Through Faith, God Save Us!

As we pay tribute to Korey ... Pray for your own Soul!
Korey is our guardian Angel, his work and life are complete...He has entered his final chapter and is in Heaven - now it's time for Korey to REST!

Rest in Love ... Korey "KT" Thomas

He was the 1st to admit when he did something wrong

He was the 1st to befriend children less fortunate

He was the 1st to leave a legacy at the tender age of "19"

He was the 1st to be honored by Sports Magazine Athlete of the Yr.

He was the 1st to be remembered by AR Dept. of Representatives

He is still "1st" in our Hearts Although Broken

He is the 1st to keep us together and mend us in SPIRIT

Death is Inevitable, but Love Lasts Forever  / Vonda Thomas (Aunt)
Thursday, as I drove to Tunica, MS - I passed the place I never thought I would see, Bicknell Funeral Home - what a flashback of the awful Sunday morning when I received the call, @ 7:36AM that you were in an accident - my heart sank.  When I learned of the fate - I had so many questions - to date they are still unanswered.

I will never forget ...  Always know - I will never forget!
Your spirit lives forever - you are a legend and know one
can take that from us - "Rose City" lost a soldier.

Rest in Peace Nephew, Rest in Love!

Still Missing My Dawg...  / Maurice Williams (Homeboy)
What's up bruh? I'm just sitting back thinking about old times... Christmas is in a few days and it's crazy cause every year around this time we would bump into each other at tha mall ballin out for our loved ones. It's been a minute since I got at ya, so I had to stop by and show some luv... Bruh things been crazy since you been gone. It seem like everytime I turn around somebody I grew up wit is died, so I try my best to stay away from all tha B.S. Sometime I find myself asking God why you, but I do understand that God has had a plan for all of us since day one, and this is apart of his plan. So until we meet again keep watchin ova us...
        P.S. I finally did what you were telling me for years and left all that crazy stuff alone... Plenty much Love... Close

To Lose My Child  / Pamela Thomas (Mom)

To lose a child is the worst pain any parent will ever experience. 

Korey part of me left with you
It's like part of my heart has been ripped
from my body and all my emotions that I once
felt are gone forever. 
I never will get over it, I just learn to live with it.
I had to learn to remind myself to breathe, to wake up,
that is waking up without you Korey and not feeling guilty
Not that I don't think of you constantly, cause I do.
SometimesI stop breathing for a moment and then reality
sets in:
I'll never see you again
I'll never hold you again
I'll never be able to tell you I love you face to face
I'll never be the same again

Then I sleep, then I dream,
Then I feel my Korey near...

I will love you always as I have before no matter how many
Years past before we meet again.

Love You Always and Merry Xmas

A MOTHER'S HOPE  / Pamela Thomas (Mom)

I hoped it was a mistake.
I hoped he would come back.
I hoped for acceptance.
I hoped for peace.
I hope this feeling would go away.
I hoped for reprieve.

When my son died, I hoped it was a mistake..It was not
I hoped it was a dream....it was not.

Before my son died, I hoped for enough time in the day to clean my
home, provide my family with clean laundry, taxi service and good meals. I love dinner time with my family, After my son died I didn't
know what day it was. leaning our home or doing laundry were things I no longer thought of.

I did not cook: I did not shop for food; I did not eat.

I hoped he would come back...he did not. I hoped I would gain
understanding..I did not. I couldn't understand how I could waked up on a perfectly normal morning, and my Son was gone from his room, gone from our home and gone from our lives.

I hoped for acceptance..I found none. I hoped those around me would understand me..they did not. How could they understand unless they had also lost a child. How could my beautiful, vibrant, healthy Son be gone?

I hoped for peace...I had none. I hoped for sleep..I had none.

I hoped for courage to resume my daily life..my life was out of control
The only thing I was sure of in the early day of my grief was that our
lives would never be the same again. I hoped this empty feeling
would go away..I did not

I hoped that some day my family would be normal again..we were not. I hoped I could stop looking for our son in every young man I saw that was tall,slim and happy...I could not.

I never hoped for laughter. How could I laugh when my son was dead?

I hoped the feelings that consumed me every waking  moment would
somehow change so I would feel as though I could never again be in a public place without crying.

We all have a future; we have memories. No matter how long  our
children were part of our lives; we have memories.

When Korey was a baby, a toddler, a young child, a teenager and young man, I watched over him. I thought I could watch over him my entire live. But I was wrong. I hope with all my Heart that now he is watching over me.

I know my joy will never change ever time I think of my Son, share a memorywith someone or look at pictures of him. My hope as a Mother  is that we all will find peace and cherish the joy our children have brought to our lives.

MY MOM IS A SURVIVOR  / Pamela Thomas (MOM)

My mom is a survivor,
Or so I have heard it said
Bur I can hear her crying 
When All others are in bed

I watch her lay awake at night
And go to hold her hand
She doesn't know I am with her,
To help her understand

But like the sands upon the beach
That never washes away,
I watch over my surviving mom,
Who thinks of me each day.

She wears a smile for others,
A smile of disguise,
But throught heavens open door
I see tears flowing from her eyes.

My mom tries to cope with my death
To keep my memory alive 
But to anyoone who know her,
Knows, it's her way to survive.

I know that doesn't help her
Or ease the burden she bares
So if you get a chance, talk to her
And show her that you care.

For no matter what she says.
No matter what she feels...
My surviving mom has a broken heart..
That time won't ever Heal.

Missing You  / Devin Devlin (cousin)

You have been on my mind hear lately and I can't seem to understand why.  I think about you all the time don't get me wrong, but I have just felt like the pain is fresh the past couple of days.  Maybe it scares me because Auntie is sick, but I really miss you so much.  There are no words to describe the void in my heart that I have because we didn't see each other like family should have as we got older.  I will never get over that part.  I just know that I have to see everyone as much as I can because life isn't promised and memories never take away the pain.  I love you my dear cousin and I hope you truly know how much you mean to me!

SORRY I TOOK SO LONG!!!!!  / Seanna Terry (friend)



I looked towards the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
And wondered just where you have gone
With a hope it's a better place

Did you show yourself to me today
To tell me you’re alright?
Or was it just a daydream playing tricks
Upon my sight?

Then I thought of when you left
You did not say a word
We never said "goodbye", but
in our hearts, your goodbye was heard

You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
And hope you know we always wanted to
Keep you safe from pain

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here
But each new thought you send our way
Let's us know you're always near

So until our journey nears it's end
And we hear the angels sing
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring 

korey i miss u so much the second anniv. is near. it gets harder and harder everday. im so sorry i havent been though to visit u in a well i just been going though some hard times. benard just passed away it seem like the world is coming to a end. I LOVE FOREVER!!!!!!!! MS. PAM I MISS TALKING TO U BUT TO LET U KNOW I LOVE U TO.

Thinking of you today as sorrows come again  / Pamela Thomas (Mom)

Korey, I remember when you and Bernard use to get on your bikes and go way to far out of the neighborhood. I never thought ina million years I would see yet another baby buried. Another family is filling the pain I endure daily. Bernard was not my favorite, but he was like a son to me also, because of you. That was your partner in crime. He was always polite and so he was welcome. He had to be a pretty good person because he was your friend. Iknow Bernard loved you and hopefully now yall is kickin it. I love  you Koreyand I will always keep close to my heart.
