What a special lady Thelma was to everyone she met! I remember the special times I had with her when Nancy was living in Thelma's home and suffering from cancer.She opened her home and her heart to Nancy and that is something I will always hold close in my heart. I also seemed to always leave her house with some sort of homemade goodie she insisted on giving me! We will all miss a very special lady who lived a long life and touched many people throughout those years.
