Thelma was an exceptional lady. My introduction to her was when Lauren brought her to our house to introduce his new wife! A surprise and delight! Always had a soft spot in my heart for cousin Lauren and Thelma is right there with him.
My condolences to all the family. May the Lord comfort you in your loss.
Sincere sympathy to all Thelma’s family. Sorry I cannot get to the funeral home to express it in person.
May the Lord comfort each of you. Donna
Always remember that God loves you all–That should be easy because Thelma taught us all how to love, and be strong. “Take care of each other”.
Mourning is for a while. Then the real day will come. God Bless. From Aunt Wilma
My Sincere Sympathy — Our Great Loss — Heavens Gain — She is remembered and Loved by all that knew her. Always, niece Ellen Riley
We met Thelma when Lauren first started getting serious with her. It was great to see two people falling in Love. When we moved them to Bartlett it was like losing a family member. We stayed close all thru the years, she will be missed by all but now her and Lauren are together in Heaven. Love and miss you both.
