I was saddened to hear the news of Thelma's passing. I worked with Thelma in the mortgage industry. While it had been years since I had seen her, I will remember the many laughs that we shared. I can truly relate to your family's sense of grief as I lost my mother (& best friend) in September '07. Let your loving memories of her sustain you in this most difficult time. As long as she lives on in your hearts & memories, she will never truly be gone.
