3am phone calls are never good.

Thomas brother called at 3 am yesterday to tell him his older brother Randy had died suddenly of an apparent heart attack. He was only 39. Thomas left this morning on his way home, by the time we made it to the counter to get tickets yesterday all the flights headed to mainland for the day were gone. He should be home Monday night, and the funeral is Tuesday.
He hasn't been home in 2 years so he is excited to see his family, just very sad this is the reason for his trip.
His sister also called this morning just as we were leaving for the airport to tell us his cousin had died. He wasn't very close to her, but she was only in her early thirties.
Please keep both families, and Thomas in your thoughts and prayers.
I am a nervous wreck when he travels. Arrive home safely baby.

We were very sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. Hollis read the name and we wondered if Thomas was related. God bless you all!
