Ms.Thelma was a special lady. I always enjoyed talking with her. She was so energetic and had such a wonderful sense of humor. I never talked with her, that we weren't laughing. She will be greatly missed.

I had the honor of caring for miss Thelma the last few months of her life, she immediately felt like a dear friend to me and welcomed me into her heart as well as her home. Surrounded by her living family, Miss Thelma was so loved and so well cared for it was a blessing to witness and to be a part of. I will carry her in my heart forever and will miss her dearly. Rest easy my lovely friend.
