I was saddened to hear of Thelma's passing. Only a broken foot prevents me from being at the service this morning but my thoughts are with you as you share memories of this lovely, elegant and gracious lady.

I always looked forward to seeing Thelma at Hebrew College. She radiated warmth and welcome. And she was so proud of her family, and would kvell to me about Jeffrey who (if I have the names right) was a student in a class I taught at Prozdor. May her memory be for a blessing.
