Mike and Sheila: Our profound sympathy for you, your girls and the rest of the Stone family for the loss of such a wonderful mother. My great grandmother Mettie Murray Glover Wilder, grandmother Gladys Glover and many of my aunts had very fond memories of the Jim Stone family. Please know that we are remembering you in our prayers and realize that it will be a short time before we all shall be reunited to be forever together. May God Bless you at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mrs. Thelma was always such a special lady to us as well as the family. When we were attending Middlesex COG we always looked forward to seeing Mrs. Thelma. She was definitely a special lady who will be missed but is now rejoicing in Heaven with a new body without pain. May all the wonderful memories of your Mom, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend bring you much comfort. God bless you.
