I miss Thelma on Emerick Lane.Her house is filled with a new wonderful family who are frequently reminded of who she was. They know they are on holy ground and it is wonderful they are aware of that. We say her name often but miss her dearly.

Dear Amy, Bob and Family,
I'm afraid I received the news about Thelma's death too late, however, I was very sorry to hear about her loss but was assured that she is now at peace with God, Clair and those whom she loved.
Although my experiences with you mom were limited, it was easy to see and know that she was a great woman, mother, wife and person of great of great faith. I know she will be missed. Be assurred of my thoughts and prayers.

Thelma was a very special lady. I'm glad I was able to get to know her through square dancing. She never complained or had an unkind word to say about anyone. She always thought about others and was there for my family during our recent loss.
She was a kind soul who will be missed.

amy...your mother was and always will be an important influence in our lives. she had such a peaceful, unintrusive spirit about her . we had special visits throughout the years and i will miss her driveway chats as well. she and your dad were so very proud of you. your life story has come full circle and i am sure she felt such peace around that. thelma( as well as her name) is special and holds a unique space in my heart. i am sad, but i am so happy to have known her and spent time with her. we were all blessed.You know, the Galloways mean it when we say we are here to assist you in any way. I speak for all of us. 50+yrs. is a solid friend/neighborship.

Dear Amy & Bob,
I liked your mother the moment I met her several years ago. She has that special warmth about her that seems to shine from the entire Geraldsen clan. Loved hearing about her square dancing from your Uncle Fred. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

We are square dance friends of your mom and she was a true inspiration to all of us. My husband and I referred to her as the Energizer Bunny because she just "kept on going." She came dancing even on the days she had chemo! We just danced with her 2 weeks ago. She worked very hard for Latham Circle Squares and supported all the local clubs. We will all miss her fun-loving spirit and beautiful smile.

Dear Amy and Bob -
I am thankful that your mom and dad showed us all as kids how to sell rocks and look at the shadow of the moon through a piece of cardboard for a boy scout project. They showed us how to eat the peppermint from your backyard and stay away from Farmer Bill! and many more memories that make me smile...happy memories for sure. From Baltimore, we are sending our love and prayers to your families. Love, Tom Galloway
