McGehee, AR Friday, August 1, 2014 What can I say about this wonderful man who I know is in heaven. He and I met June20, 2009 as he was my District Manager. I was to run the route from McGehee to Dermott to Eudora to Wilmot to Parkdale to Portland to Montrose and back to Mcgehee. The route was over a hundred and fifty miles 7 days a week. I rode with him and that day began a beautiful friendship. I will ALWAYS LOVE YOU Mr. THOMAS NAUGHER. He was the kindest, loving, trustworthy, and honest man that I have ever met. But I would call him and keep in touch with my friend he told me about his health. I prayed he would get better. But God knows better. No more suffering. And to the family look at all the testimonies about Tom. He was very much loved. I have never met anyone like him. Rest in peace my friend, Love Ya Jacquelyn Faye and Alanda Ray ChaneyJoshlyn Cessor
