Aunt Thelma was one of my favorite Aunts. She made the most delicious pies and homemade divinity candy. I’ll never forget the times I spent with my Aunt and Uncle Kenneth. My sincere condolences to her family.
My condolences to the family. Thelma was a cousin whom I never met. Her mother Mabel and my mother, Louise, were sisters. I feel a loss for never having met her.
Sorry to hear of her passing she was a very nice person
So sorry to hear about Aunt Thelma! She was always a delight to visit with…so sassy and high spirited!! She’s with her loved ones in heaven now! I will be unable to make it to the funeral since I live in Tennessee and Bob, my hubby just recently had shoulder surgery! God Bless and stay strong!!
Love all of you!!
