Bryn Francis Thompson and Harrison Abram Thompson
Bryn Francis Thompson (age 9) and Harrison Abram Thompson (age 7) were carried into the eternal light of Heaven by Doc and Pops on Monday, August 14, 2023.
On October 4, 2013, God blessed the world with Bryn’s presence. She was beginning her fourth-grade year at Riverfield and was a cheerleader for the Raider Nation. Some of the things that Bryn loved most in this world were piano, animals, school, organizing things, art, Mama and Daddy, Hayes and Harrison, her family and friends and Cow.
On June 15, 2016, God blessed the world with Harrison’s presence. Harrison “Harry-Man” wanted to play professional baseball and was well on his way to doing so after making All-Stars this past baseball season. Harrison was beginning his second-grade year and loved school, baseball, Mama and Daddy, Bryn and Hayes, nerf gun wars, his friends and family and Lion.
