The Thompson family gathered Sunday like it so often does. Children were running around. Good food was plentiful. But one person was missing — Michael Randall Thompson.
It is the exact same spot the family last saw their husband, uncle, brother and cousin. They came together this past Sunday to remember Thompson and pray.
