“In loving memory of Robert Cleveland Thomas, Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday that I saw you, uncle Bob at my moms, your twin sister’s celebration of life. It was inspiring to see your great grandchildren, nieces and nephews dancing around you in your wheelchair. You seem the happiest when surrounded by family. I have fun memories of family get together‘s and reunions. I’m sure you are reunited with grandma, mom and Robyn, dancing free of pain in the clouds. May you RIP! Love ❤️”

Shawn Jones wrote a sympathy message

“Today it sunk in that you are gone and the extra opportunities that I missed while you was on earth. Heartfelt memories popped in my head like movie scenes. I can picture you sitting in your favorite spot in the living room smiling and laughing. I can see you sitting and dancing in that spot and if you were feeling really good you got up and two-stepped to the music. I witness how everyone had love and respect for you no matter their age, race, or background and I admire that. RIP Grandpa💐🙏”

“My Papaw was there for me in many different ways. He was spunky and had a dominant personality .He was not afraid to speak his mind. Nor lend a hand to help others. I am greatful for the time God allowed him to be in my life. He loved his animals , children and grandchildren. He was a hard-working man in his younger days. He sure new how to smile. I remember thinking how cool he was as a kid on his motorcycle. My mom loved him dearly. He will be missed untill we meet again. Love you . Rip.”
