Mike, we are so sorry for your loss! Thelma was such a sweet, special woman that we will always remember as a wonderful neighbor and mother to someone very special to our family. I think of her sitting out on her front porch, rocking with friends and just smile with great memories of a neighbor who always had a smile herself and a friendly wave. We will keep you in our prayers as you go through this difficult time! Our love to you, dear friend.
