To the Thomas family, my heart goes out to you in this time of saddness, but rejoice in the thought that Ezell has gone on to be in a better place with GOD. I find laughter in memories of working with Ezell and those memories are ones I will always have. As long as you keep the memories he will always live in your hearts.
