A Tribute To My Uncle Thomas Wayne Frazier, Sr. You have made your transition from this life... My heart cries because of the loss of seeing your smiling face. But I do understand that I love you, but God loves you best. We are the energy of God, and energy never dissipates. God has given us a powerful gift: the gift of love. God’s Love rises above and goes beyond down through the ages and throughout His universe. You showed God how much you appreciate His gift of love by the way you lived your life. You had no problems with sharing your love and making it a major part of your life. I must understand that in setbacks and losses, There are God’s advantages. There are the profits of God that He bestows continuously on us. Finally, there are rewards God gives for us to appreciate. If I don’t know sadness and grief, how can I appreciate the good things that God blesses me with? Even though I don’t like change, God must show me the newness of Life. You are my Uncle Tommy, I will miss your voice, your smile. And because of your love for me as your niece, I’ll never forget you. My memories of you will include safety, guidance, love, and most of all strength you have shown in your life. Everyone will have their memories and experiences of you, but these are mine. You have made mistakes (like everyone else), but you are still a good and kind man. You have always been there when I needed you… You have made me laugh through adversity and trauma. You made me understand that rain doesn’t last always, and that every storm passes. I thank our Creator for showing you His love for you and that He made you who you are. When I see you, I see God’s true love. I will always love you and keep your positive memory alive. I will remember to always do the right thing, regardless of any pain that may be involved as you have taught me. I love you, but God loves you best… Take your rest, Uncle Tommy, until God calls you once more. Written by: Mrs. Regina JohnAnn Alexander-Heidelberg May 21, 2023
