“I highly recommend this funeral home and crematorium; when I had to make and pay for my brother’s arrangements across state lines, Evelyn Montonya, in particular, demonstrated both compassion and professionalism and made a very sad and difficult situation much easier. Many thanks.”
Well this is truly hard…but I know Miss Laura is all well now. I remember her at GDT and how she would put a smile on everyones face. We had some great times together when I would see her. We shared stories on a personal and business level. We even became FB friends. I remember a couple time we even cried together. Her grand daughters would come with her to GDT and she absolutely thought the world of them. She will be dearly missed but never forgoten. Love you Miss Laura until we meet again!!!!

It is rare a person knows you your entire life and is consistent. Laura Thomas was both. She was a genuinely nice, thoughtful lady who demonstrated her love for her family…and their priority in her life. To say things won’t be the same is an understatement. The Scroggins Family will miss her.

To my lovely Laura: I miss you so and words can never express my gratitude for all you have done for me. Your heart was full of love and you were relentless in everything you believed in. All of my memories have been of your beautiful smile or the smirk you used to give me when you felt I was about to ask you for something. You are truly an angel and just to have been your grand daughter is the greatest blessing I will ever know.I never knew joy until you smiled, never knew love until you loved me, and never knew an unselfish heart until I looked into your eyes. My angel on Earth and my best friend is now playing the biggest role in her life, in heaven. I’ll love you until I take my last breath and I pray that you watch over myself, the family, and my little, unborn Laurann.

Every evening when Laura would come to work at GDT we always had to stop long enough for a big hug and to talk about how the day went or just share stories. She was one in a million with her great outlook on life, love of her family and willingness to do what ever she could to help anyone.If it was a bad day she would find something good about it. She was truly loved and will be missed but never forgotten.

I am so very thankful that I was blessed enough to have met Miss Laura and have her be a part of my life. She always had a great smile and a kind word for me. I am sad that I will not get to joke and laugh with her here on earth anymore. I am happy though knowing she is smiling down on us from her view from above, keeping watch over those she loved and cared about. We cannot have too many angles watching over us.

My heart goes out to all of you guys. Mother Thomas was a true depiction of Southern Hospitality and love. I can’t find the words to adequately express my sorrow, but I find joy in knowing that she is at peace. The pressures of being the matriarch of the family are off of her willing shoulders.
Thanks for always treating me like I was a blood member of your family. Thanks for showing all of us how to love and handle our responsibilities. I’m truly a better husband, father, and person because of you and your roll with the punches mentality.
I love you Mother Thomas. Your memory and influence will be carried on throughout my Bethea lineage, FOREVER!
Lord Willing, I’ll see you on the other side of the mountain.
