Dear David, Ellen, and Patsy,
We are sad to hear that Aunt Thelma has gone to be with the Lord. We would love to be there to support you during your time of loss, but circumstances won’t allow us to attend. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Thelma will always hold a special place in our hearts. Love you all. JR and Becky White
Patsy & family, So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a good neighbor to us when we lived in Amoret. I remember going to many a garage sale at her house & coming home with lots of goodies. Praying that the many fond memories and the peace she now has will comfort you all. Jack & Susie Smalley
Dear David, Ellen and Patsy,
I wish that there was something I could say to make this time easier, but the truth is that no words can take the place of the loved one we have all lost. I will always have Aunt Thelma in my heart. I have many fond memories of her, and especially when she came to our farm and almost fell asleep at the kitchen table listening to the rooster crow. When most people think of waking up to the sound of a rooster crowing, she wanted to fall asleep.
Aunt Thelma was a loving and talented person. I will miss her greatly.
love to you all.
Judy and Kenneth Gurley
My heartfelt sympathies to the family as you cope with the loss of a loved one. May the fond memories shared bring comfort during this time of great sorrow.
