EVELYN AND DONNIE, SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THELMA. YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
To the family of Thelma May, I just wanted to express my heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your loved one, Thelma. I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming part of her caregiving team. It was a pleasure to know her, and to know her was to love her. Her smile alone could lift my spirits, and her sweet words always touched my heart. I will miss her presence and early greetings in her morning stroll about, but know that the Lord has a much greater need for his angels in heaven, and I will always think of THelma as an angel..May the Lord touch each of you and bring you peace and comfort in your time of sorrow, as only he can.I will remember each of you in my prayers.
Grandma will truly be missed. She was a one of a kind and she taught all of us many things. Those of us who got the chance to know her where the lucky ones.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.
Sympathy to you and your family on the lost of your mother and grandmother. She always had a smile and spoke to me when she past me in the halls at Heartland.
