Mr. Thomas D. Demps

~ In Prayer~

Dear God, we take this opportunity to remember Doc and how he inspired us through music. 

We thank You for blessing us to have had the opportunity to learn from and work with him. 

We thank You for the memories and the many friendships developed as a result of his guidance. 

We also remember our choir sisters and brothers who have transitioned

from the physical life to eternal life.  Their memories will remain in our hearts forever.

We pray that the work we do will be pleasing to You, Heavenly Father,

and a testament to our love for Doc and each other. 

Through Jesus Christ Our Lord we pray ... Amen.
