This is so late. I was just sitting here (2/9/2024) thinking of the BEST doctor, who I felt was also my friend, that I have ever had and so I googled and was saddened to find this. If it wasn't for this woman, I would never had the courage to grow, change, do many things most importantly of which was to have my son all because Dr. Thomas cared enough to ........ to help, to share, to be real. I love her.
Dr. Thomas was a friend and my physician for many years. She is close to my heart always.
My condolences. You were the best family doctor ever.
Dr. Thomas was a very important person in our family especially my father Philip Speck. My condolences to her family and a profound thank you to Dr. Thomas for all she did for my family.
It has been said that as we approach the later years of life, if we can count five (5) good friends on one hand we are truly blessed. Beverly Thomas was one of my five. I knew Beverly over 45-years; first, as my physician (Dr. Thomas), then as my dear, true friend. I use to say, “What have I done in my life to deserve such a friend, as Beverly.” As my doctor, there was none better. I may have waited a long time in the Waiting Room or even be the last patient; but I didn’t mind, because I knew she would give me her complete and utmost attention. She always did. She was an excellent doctor. She was caring, kind, and took time to listen. Even after we moved from California to Florida, I would call her and she would help. If any of us became ill, my little daughter would say, “Call Beverly, mommy, she will know what to do.” As her friend, we shared many stories, life experiences, heartbreak and joy. She and Richard even attended our wedding in Guatemala…, taking a week out of their lives to celebrate with us. Later, when my daughter married 10-years ago, Beverly came, with Donna, to Florida to celebrate with us. She was an amazing friend! When I was able to come back to visit and stay at the house, I felt so at home. She made me feel a part of the family. I had the opportunity to work with her and Richard, only to see all the good they did for the people and their community. I would tell them, “God is so good to the two of you because of all the good you do for so many others.” She had a good, kind, caring and loving heart. She loved her family…, first and foremost; loved her patients; loved her home, and never hesitated to help anyone. She will always be my true friend. I loved her. I will miss her. But I know, without a doubt, when she approached St. Peter, the gates of Heaven flung open-wide. And, she was greeted by the Father saying, “Welcome home! My true and trusted friend. Thank you for a job well done!” “A life well lead.” “A legacy to be proud of.” Rest in peace, dear Beverly.
Aunt Beverly, Omgosh, I don’t know where to begin…I remember the first time meeting you..I was around 8 years old? I remember you telling me about a story of a chicken…I remember spending weekends with you, movies and hypnotism nights at your house. I think it was 1978, you told me if I didn’t eat candy for a year, you would give me $100! I didn’t and you gave me a $100 bill in exchange for all of my candy.! To this day… I’m not a fan of candy or desert. You explained way back then the ramifications from too many sweets. I am not diabetic and have no cravings for sweets after our talk. I am going to miss you…what an amazing, giving, kind woman you were….that’s how I will remember you. I love you and am so blessed that you touched my life…Rest in peace knowing how many lives you touched!!!
