In memory of Ursula Marie Thomas

                           of Oakland California

                      Born September 24, 1939

                         died March 27, 2017

Ursula is survived by her three children Cynthia Ann Thomas-Sparks, Edward Hubert Thomas Jr., and Carla Marie Thomas, her three grandchildren Cydnee Morgan Torres, Kennadee Nicole Thomas and Joshua Jordan Thomas, her brothers Arthur Mark Richard, Tyrone Paul Richard, Wilmar Lionel Richard and Roland Richard, her sisters Ann Jocelyn Wallace, Celone Antoinette Richard and Marcella Elaine Richard, and her many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Ursula is truly missed by many. On March 27th in the year 2017, God called on his angel to come home, at 12:30 p.m. Ursula answered that call.

She grew up in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, was raised Catholic, and married her childhood sweetheart, Edward Thomas, the son of a Baptist Preacher. Edward and Ursula raised their family in Oakland, California. She was a loving wife and mother who cared for everyone, her heart was open to many. Through her soulful, Creole way of cooking, Ursula enjoyed cooking dishes such as gumbo, frying catfish, crawfish bisque, or red beans and rice, for family, friends, or anyone who just happened to stop by to say hello. She was a loyal and dedicated mother to her children and loved her grandchildren totally, they were her world.

Ursula was always willing to help anyone she could. She loved playing bingo, spending time on the telephone with her sisters and friends, and drinking her Bud light beer. Her laugh will certainly be missed. Her strong dedication to family and God brings us happiness because she is where she wants to be, in heaven with her Husband (our Dad) Edward Thomas Sr. Rest in peace our beautiful angels. We love and miss you so much.

Hello mommy.
I'm missing you like crazy. I feel so numb and lost I don't know how to function. I'm trying to stay strong, but it's getting harder and harder as we get closer to this trip. I would have given anything for it to be me instead of you. You deserved to be happy, and I was trying so hard to make that happen, but I was too late. You are my best friend, my heart and my soul. I don't know how I'm going to make it without you and your phone calls everyday. I just keep asking God to give me the strength to move forward without you. Doing my best Mommy. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU BOTH!!!
