I have just heard of Thelma passing. I loved her so much she was like a mom to me. I have hundreds of memories of her. She loved her dancing but most of all i always heard of her children and grandchildren. She was so proud of them. She had me over just to show pictures and tell stories. She will be missed so much. My prayers go to all the children and grandchildren.
