Pat and Junior, I have just learned of Thelma's passing and you have my sincere sympathy. I can only think that now she is back with Uncle Thomas. I can still hear her laugh and it makes me smile. It's the way I will always remember her. I will keep you in my prayers. Take care.

My sincere sympathies in the loss of your mom. Your parents were both "special" people whom my Mom and Dad called "friends."
May God bless you with happy memories.

Dear Pat, Roger and Family,
Wayne and I were out of town until late Monday evening. We just learned of your Mother's passing Tuesday morning. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is very difficult. I know you were very close to your Mother. Having wonderful memories will be a comfort as you began life's journey without her. She was a beautiful and special person. May God bless you in this very sad time.
