    No Heaven didn't get another angel . People are not angels nor do they become angels, no where in the Bible does God say that . God don't call those of His home because He needed another angel and for people to make such a statement is adding to God's Word those who add to or take from God's Holy Word will go to Heaven ,for they make a mockery of God's Word by adding to it. God created the angels and 1/3 followed Lucifer /Satan if God wanted more angels He would have created them. The Saints will judge angels they do NOT become angels ,but be like angels in that we do NOT marry nor die. There no marriages in Heaven and none given.. Christ Yeshua is coming for His Bride the Church /His body

His Christian music was great and I had his albums, but not everyone who records spiritual music is a true believer. I have my doubts about some I will not name. God knows the heart. I hope Glen was also. I think he was. Both cherished parts of my adolescence in many ways

" Momma " was another tear jerker that reminded me of my mother growing up. B.J. never made a bad song, he was great and I know that I will miss him. Thank God I have most of his music, he'll live forever while I play his great songs. Rest in peace B.J. you had a reserved spot in Rock and Roll heaven.

    The First song I ever heard by him was I'm So Lonesome Could Cry. I thought it was Gerry Marsden of the Pacemakers. I was wrong obviously, but loved the way he sang every song after that. He was unique, and dang it, I had no idea he was appearing in my home town at the Riviera Theater, and just found out one week before he passed from watching some of the songs from that date. I would have loved to see him perform. But; when I go to karaoke this week, my main focus will be singing the tunes he made famous. R.I.P. Billy Joe, you were a great inspiration to me. Amen!

    Another one who does that is Neal McCoy. He logs in on Facebook every morning to say the Pledge of Allegiance and talk to his fans. He's very approachable and appreciative. But B.J. Thomas has a special place in my heart, as the first song of his that I remember hearing on the radio is "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." He really did Hank Williams proud with that version. I know that they are both singing with the angels in Heaven today. ❤️

    Hello Maria I did get to see BJ Thomas in concert I think at a fair stage somewhere in around the late seventies. I had bought a beautiful goldfish Seiko watch just months before as I recall. I was living in well below the poverty level in East Tennessee at the time and this item was the most expensive item I had ever purchased around $300. I was compelled to make my way to the front of the stage and hand it to him as a gift for all the beautiful music I had enjoyed over the years. It was an awkward moment as I was a male and most of the gifts he was receiving were from females he accepted the gift graciously and as I eyes met he gently handed the watch back with a smile as to say its mine now and I would like you to have it. It was a beautiful moment of grace in what seemed like a awkward moment. I have been imitating great voices in music history ever sense and BJs songs and voice is my favorite. You will get to see him in concert one day I believe may God bless you! My name is Vegas from ATL GA now 64 year old white male if anyone is curious.

    BJ Thomas is such a classic singer and performer. As a long time fan, it feels like I've lost a friend, as well as one of my favorite vocalists and performers that I was blessed to see in concert back in the day. That concert resulted in my being a long time fan..My heart is broken to hear of his recent passing. He is now in our heavenly Father's angelic choir, probably directing. Rest in heavenly peace in the arms of Jesus and high on that mountain, BJ. You may be gone from this earthly world, but you will live on in our hearts through your music, your children, and grandchildren. Watch over Gloria as her heart is broken, grieving, and as she is trying to cope with the loss of you, her loving soul mate. Let her feel your loving presence so that she will know you are with her through her current battles of loneliness, broken heartedness, and health issues. We love you, BJ. I just hope you know how much you are loved and will be missed by so many..Prayers for all of his family and loved ones. 😭💔🙏
