Thelma Petty Barlow

Christmas time was the best with Grandma. We miss her and love her and know if we keep the Faith and Love of Jesus Christ we have the opportunity to see her again. I love you Grandma. Merry Christmas

Years of time have come and gone, but memories of Aunt Thelma are like yesterday. Taking vacations "down south" was alway enjoyable knowing that Thelma would have stories to tell, shopping to do or food on the table. Still remember the pile of shrimp she fed dad until he grew gills. Thank you Aunt Thelma for the bags of candy from The Picknicer, thanks for your visits and shopping trips to Dallas, and most of all thanks for taking me to Las Vegas even thou we didn't see Elvis. Your with my...

Thelma would have said "she's a blonde." It is no not know. Like the time I made coffee cake with coffee grinds instead of brewed coffee. Thelma laughed so hard at me. We had fun together.

You were such a caring and loving person. We are fortunate to have had you in our lives. You made me feel welcomed and loved. We miss you!

The best memories of Christmas I ever had was with the family at grandmas. Grandma kept the family together. You were always smiling and when you laughed it was such a pleasant feeling. I'm going to miss you but I know you are in a better place.

Thelma will be missed and just know that I love you and will continue to take good care of your daughter. Love,Richard Harrell

Know one will ever know how much I loved my second Mom. Thelma was someone that I respected and loved. My memories of her will never die. She was always there for me. Thelma was the best Mom anyone could ever ask for.

What will we do without her? Our hearts are heavy now, but we will always have wonderful memories of Thelma to hold close and cherish from now until we see her again. Janie and Freddy
