We have been friends since we were five that makes 27 years

We have shared many moments of laughter as well as tears

Your house was my house and I was always welcomed

Your grandmother always gave her insight and her wisdom

She would get mad at us when we did things wrong

What I remember most was that the bond that you two shared was strong

As we prepare to say goodbye; let us hold steadfast to the memories;

Of Thelma Maddox and the woman, God predestined her to be

Ann, only time can heal the loss of your Mom but I can honestly say

Her spirit will forever live and you will see her again in Heaven someday

God wanted her by his so as we prepare to say goodbye

Cherish each moment spent with her and influence she had in our lives

God thank you for sending an Angel named Thelma who gave us all love

She will be missed as she ascends her flight in the kingdom in the heaven above





Love Andria Hicks

Desmond & I would like to extend our heartfelt condolence. Although it’s easier said than done; be encouraged, even during times of pain and grief. And be mindful in knowing that God is your strength and refuge. He blessed you with the love and companionship of Mother Thelma and now he is blessing you with her never ending legacy and spirit to watch over you. May heaven shine upon you and the entire family.



Love,

Desmond & Joslyn McLain
