    Our beloved cousin, Jerome Manute Thomas, has passed from this world, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

    Jerome and I were born just a month apart, growing up, we affectionately called him “Egg Head” ā€” a nickname that brought so much laughter and fondness.

    He was a gentle giant, a man of quiet strength and endless kindness. His love for his family and friends was as immense as his heart. Jerome’s calm demeanor and warm spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be missed but the memories we shared will forever keep him alive in my heart.

    Rest peacefully,
    Your cousin, Tonya loves you always.šŸ’™ šŸ•Š
