The family of Denton L. “Flop” Thomas would like to share the following letter from Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant.

“As Lieutenant Governor of the State of Mississippi and Presiding Officer of the Mississippi State Senate, I would like to inform you that the Mississippi Senate adjourned in memory of Mr. Denton L. Thomas. This motion was made by Sen. Bob Dearing. Furthermore, this motion was recorded in the Mississippi Senate Journal and will forever be a permanent record of the State of Mississippi.

The Mississippi State Senate extends our deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones during this difficult time. Please know that we share your loss and offer our continued prayers.”

Bob, the children and I thank you, Mr. Bryant.
