I know without a doubt that she is at peace right now. She will always be my inspiration to have faith in myself, others and most of all God. She did not believe in the word impossible. She believed in Gods will not hers or mine. It is hard to miss her at this very moment when she is so alive in me and others around me and some I don't even know. Thank you God for the gift of being her granddaughter. Hug her for me God, I feel her hugs all day long.

This is how I picture her now, peaceful, content and faithfully overjoyed.

This is something I never thought I would live to read. MY life is complete because I was 16 and Theda was 20 yrs. We spent so many hours and short years together. She was a beautiful person. Her dau. Patti was born when we were close friends and shared many things together. I hope she remembers. I can still see the little ones, both boys, running around. She shared so much of her self with everyone. We were never strangers all our lives. I know how much she will be missed by all. She had a beautiful family. Her sister Opal and brother-in-law Don and brother Haskal. I loved them all. I am over whelmed with memories. My deepest condonlences to all the family especially Patti. I know how much her mother meant to her.
