Tabitha Thompson
I am so saddened by the passing of my daughter in law Tabitha, she will be so missed. Her life will go on with our memories she has bestowed in us for many years to come. When you think of Tabitha or hear her name, a smile comes over your face and that will never go away. My heart goes out to my son Matthew, Tabitha’s husband and wish him comfort and peace as time goes on.
