To the family of my high school classmate, Dorothy Thomas Verrett. I am so sorry for the departure of your dear loved one, Dorothy. I saw her brother and my classmate Willis Thomas, a few years ago in Macon, GA where he was working on installing some electrical wires in our church, Macedonia Baptist, in Macon, GA. It was such a surprise and a delight to see him again. It has been 50 years since I've seen my classmate, Dorothy. I will see her again when we meet on the other side.
