Five reader comments about Thurmond Price
Thurmond Price was always in good spirits, even when charlie chan chasted him and made him come to an old lady house like mine.
I could always count on Thurmond to carry my food bags in when they were too heavy for me to carry.
May the God that moved Thurmond Price to show the Love and Kindness that he showed me in trouble sometimes be with the Family in this trouble sometime.
God Bless
