I didn't know Mrs. Thomas personally but her daughter Deborah was my 6th grade teacher and is a very good person. She has been supportive to my cousins and my family during the loss of my aunt. I'm sure she got that good spirit from her mother. So to Ms. Burton and family I'm sorry to hear of your loss and pray that the Lord will guide you through this time with understanding. Love you Ms. Burton

My sincere condolences to the children and family of Myria Thomas. Aunt Myria was a soft spoken woman whom I've never heard raise her voice for anything. I will remember her slight smile as there was never a frown either. May the strength of GOD be your crutch to lean on in the days and nights to come, for he will provide your every need.
Love Always,
Erika Iles-Thomas

I enjoyed being around Myria becasue she was always pleasant. She was never upset and never seemed to be mad (SEEMED). I noticed that her children took after their father. All of you have so much personality, Lucky comes out in you for sure. But your hearts are so genuine, it's obvious that you are Myria's children. Value that. Value the traits in your Mom and your Dad that you have sooo many memories of. You always had a lot of laughter and great meals! You had a mother that loved you and your father. Spend time thinking of her often and use those memories to guide you with your children and your lives. I am here if there is anything that I can do to make the loss easier.

To my first cousins Deborah, Michael, Diane, Shelia, Tyrone and Regina, sorry for the loss of your mom, my aunt. She will be missed. She was a funny disciplinarian when we were young with words she used on y'all lol and as I mentioned with my uncles, coming home will never be the same. Not being able to walk to her house to see her each time i'd come home to speak and get a hug will be different as well as calling and joking with her on the phone asking to speak to Terry. I remember even making a point to find her when I was in college on campus in her building just to speak and growing up right there with her from a baby to 21.
