Peter Thomas was once a staple on The Real Housewives of Atlanta as the husband of Cynthia Bailey, but he has become one of our faves and is a very close friend of the blog.

That being said, I’d like to offer my sincere condolences to Peter on the loss of his father, who passed away today.

Thomas shared the news via social media early this morning, stating:

This have to be the saddest day of my life, I don’t know where to begin, I don’t know what to do, I am completely dead inside, my daddy is no longer on this side. God please give me strength, my heart is broken

Losing a parent is heartbreaking and I pray that the Thomas family finds peace during this tough time.

Please keep him in your prayers and send him some positive energy.
