Camp had posted on the live stream this am that Glo Thomas had passed early this am. As most of you know, Glo had ALS and it got the best of her. So glad I had the chance to meet her. Rest in Peace dear Glo.

Oh, I am so sorry. This wicked disease has also affected our family. Bless you, Glo.

When I saw that Camp had said RIP Glo on the livestream I so hoped it wasn't Glo Thomas. I texted Donna and asked her to see if she could find out as I was leaving for my watch at the time. I too, am happy that I got to meet Glo on watchers weekend 2 years ago-she's one of those people that touches your soul and I will never forget her.  sorrow

So sorry to hear this.  I met Glo at Watchers Weekend 2 years ago, knew she hadn't been well but wasn't aware she struggled with ALS.  Bill and I lost a dear friend 2 years ago to this devastating disease.  RIP, Glo..you will be missed by many.  sorrow

Her son, James, posted this on her gofundme site this morning...

Sadly, we have lost the fight.
Rip mom I will always love you.
Thank you to all who have helped in so many ways. We are forever greatful.
The Thomas family



I too am glad I got to meet her in person. She will be missed...

Oh, I am so very sorry to hear this.  I found out she hadn't been doing well when I asked her if she needed a ride to this past year's Watchers Weekend.  I had driven her to the 2013 gathering.  She had such a great attitude.  I always enjoyed her posts on Ustream.  

Fly free, Glo.  We will miss you.   crying

Kathy told me the sad news about Glo's passing while on my Falcon Watch this afternoon. 

I was so sorry to hear this.  Glo loved the falcons and I am so happy to have met her on Falcon Watch weekend.  She was so excited to see the birds she so dearly loved in person.

Rest in peace Glo.  Fly free.

Sorry to hear, but God has called her Home to watch over the feathered ones in Heaven.  Welcome Home, Glo!
