To Donna and Randy: You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Let the Lord continue to be your strength and Comfort during these very difficult times and hold fast to the promise of eternal life. Know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." (Psalm 30:4-6). Let me know if there is anything at all that I can do for you. Donna, it will get better. With sincere condolences and empathy. Beverly Hill-Murray

We have lost a true friend and heaven has gained a true Angel. How grateful we are to have had the pleasure of knowing Thelma Pace. Mrs. Pace was more than a neighbor...she was family. The love and admiration she had for my children was profound. She cared for them as if they were her own granchildren and often guided them as such in her own way. (Smile...gentle but firm) I will miss her and so will my children. Thank you Joyce, Donna and Eston for sharing your mother with us. She left us many fond memories :-)
Love Always,
Tamara, Travis, Kamren, Kailyn & Kyler Gilliam

What a wonderful neighbor and friend to me! Thelma was a woman of great strength, courage, abilities, kindness, and love for her family, her friends, and her Lord. I send my heartfelt condolences to Joyce, Donna, Eston, and all the family members. I will cherish my memories of "Sima" always.

I send sincere condolences and prayers for all the family. Thelma was a friend for over 50 years. We were roommates in nursing school in 1954. We shared many happinesses and many sorrows. Our children grew up together and though our lives led us to different areas of the country we kept in touch over many years. These later years have been very difficult. I know all of you have been through a lot grief. May God be with you to be your strength through this sorrow. I send love, prayers, and much heart felt sympathy .Dot McDaniel
