To the family: Aunt Thelma will be truly missed. I can hear her still small voice as she referred to me as, Rose Marie, the same as Grandma. A small but strong presence in our live, one that will not be forgotten. The memories I have of my childhood in Pughsville will never be forgotten and will always bring a smile to my face because of my Grandma and my aunt.
May God Blessing be with the family during this time.
