I have only been made aware of this today. I was not her closest friend, I was only a classmate, but I loved her a lot. Her humor abounded, her brilliance was obvious and her ability to challenge the way people thought were admirable. I always carried her in my heart.

My deepest sympathy on your loss. I have very fond memories of Thelma. She was such a happy person who never seemed to grow old. So it was a shock when I got the news that she had passed away. My father, Max Gold, was Brian (Yitz)'s uncle and the brother of Brian's mother, Toba Davidson.

Thelma and my Aunt Joan were sidekicks for so long that she became part of the family. I feel so lucky to have reaped the rewards of that beautiful friendship. Thelma was the brightest light and most interesting person in any room she entered. I will miss her smile, her support and her funny email updates so very much.

My heartfelt condolences to her beautiful family, particularly Toby and Miriam who cared for her with so much love and joy. ❤

Thelma and her beloved "Miss V.", her sweet dog, spent the winter months here in Phoenix as our neighbor a few doors away. Her arrival was always greatly anticipated as there was no one as bright, cheery, humorous and energetic as Thelma. Whenever I think of Thelma I smile and I always will. Thanks for the memories, Thelma!
