Only God knows the true value of his servants' contributions for service to humanity. Dr. Thomas and her husband worked together with my Mother Goldie Johnson in PTA when I was a student at Dunjee School. I was blessed to work with their daughters when they were in high school. It is wonderful to be remembered with a smile along with a tear.

Dr.. Donna Neal Thomas's legacy of humanitarianism, community service, and health care will live perpetually. Her brilliance and ability to positively affect others' lives was recognized in her youth by her teachers at Dunjee School. My mom, Nancy Randolph Davis, would extol frequently how that Donna Neal Thomas was a "STAR " student who would win national awards representing Dunjee. Dr. Thomas then went on to making noteworthy contributions such as leading Mary Mahoney. Thank you Dr. Thomas for all you have done for our community and God"s people .

What a tremendous blessing Dr. Thomas was to students in Nursing School (and other health professions) at Metro Tech aspiring to continue their education. Countless students were and continue to be awarded scholarships yearly named in her honor through the Metro Tech Foundation. A faithful humble servant and Board of Education Member who could be seen quietly working in the clothes closet to benefit students on any given day. Gods continued blessings on the Family
