Mrs. Thelma was truly an example of a Godly woman. She inspired me to never stop serving and loving others as our Saviour loves us. Heaven is rejoicing and she is gladly sitting next with her Savior. May God comfort you in your loss.

Dear Family, I will miss Mom very much. She was so sweet. She never complained about anything. I loved her very much before being her care giver but I loved her even more during the last 18 months. I called her Mom but half the time I called her mama and that is what she was to me. Thank you Lord for placing her in my life.Love Brenda Williams

For several years, we delivered Meals on Wheels lunches to Mrs. Williams and her husband, Joe (and T.J.). She was a special recipient, never failing to greet us with a smile and a kind word. In fact, I would often do the next two stops on my own so that my wife could spend a few extra minutes with her. We shared a common interest in travel, jigsaw puzzles, and good conversation. She will be very much missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her. May she rest in peace.
