I just heard the news today that a lovely person inside and out passed. My deepest sympathy to Thelma's entire family. She loves you all so much. I wish I had some comforting words to leave on here however I am sure your all grieving and understandably so where words feel empty right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am still in shock and can only say Im sorry for your loss. I loved her as if she were my mom and I will never forget her. My heart is in pieaces over this news but I know your pain is bigger and deeper. Im so so sorry. If I can help in anyway feel free to contact me, my name is Nancy Steele, I use to drive her to her chiropractor every two weeks to Dr Mike and some errands and she would buy us breakfast and we would have long chats after. We loves those times and I grew to love her which was so easy to do. We talked from things from A-Z. Ive been sick and have said "I need to call Thelmer"(I called her that teasing her". I am so upset at me. I had just asked Debbie, the manager in my building how she was because Debbie's husband took that building to the store and Thelma would go occasionally. This was just on the 5th so she was in my thoughts and I said Ive got to call her when I get more mobile. Now I know why they say never put off tomorrow what you can do today. We always think we have forever :( She will be forever loved and forever missed. She will be the brightest star in the sky because she was an angel on earth. s

I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Thelma's passing. She was the only one of Mom's family that stayed connected through the years. She was always so faithful to send cards to the Great-Nieces and Nephews. so sad, she was the last one of the family. Seems like ages ago that we all got together. I can remember a trip or two to LaGrange and when you all came to the big town of Monroe City. May God be with you as you celebrate her life and say goodbye. Thinking of you, Lori
