Hadn’t written her in awhile
I was too busy
Thought I’d see her again one day
She was too sick
Evening call that she was dying
I rushed her a message
Morning call that it was too late
Angels rushed her on
Cried over photos and her songs
Made a video
And wished I’d been a better friend
Made a new resolve…
Be a better friend.
Mama Thomas passed away on Sunday, October 16th and you can see my memory video about her at:
You can read about my experiences with her in Section B of my book Mzungu Expressions under the short story “It All Started With…” at the following address:

Tam,
How beautiful and true your words are. Keeping you in prayer.
Elbow to Elbow,
Marshela
Thanks Marshela! Elbow!
I was honored to have met this woman and her son, Thomas, while I visited Tam. I was honored twice to have conversed with her on Tam’s webcam. I was aware of the family problems that arose because her and her son chose Christ over the world. What a dedicated and kind sister in Christ she proved to be.
.
In her memory,
Gayle Gregoire–Tam’s sister
Thanks, Gayle. Thomas called us that Sunday and wanted to make sure I told you that MT sent her greetings to you, along with Thomas.
nothing rather than praying for her so that she rest in peace
