Just now finding out about Thelma. She affected my life in such a profound way. She was such the “mother bird†and gently guided me in my early years of being a wife and mother. She was quite unique and I reflect often as I “do†simple routines of life and her insight. I look forward to hanging around her one day in heaven. God rest her soul and welcome her for her work here on earth. She shaped my life😇
My favorite aunt and encourager.
Good by,love you always,you been good to all.
What a delightful lady Thelma was and how much I enjoyed visiting with her when she was my neighbor. My heart breaks to have heard of her passing. Tonight I will say a special prayer for her. Sleep well Thelma and blessings on you.
