To: The Family of the late Thelma Jones Odom

I was sorry to hear of Thelma’s death.

My family joins me in sending these words of sympathy. We hope the following poem will be a comfort to all of you.

Lean On God
By: Charles G. Turner, Sr.
(Formerly of Beech Island, S.C.)

In life our love ones and friends sometimes suddenly pass away
For many reasons we don’t understand
Our hearts become heavy with sorrow
Just remember to pray to God and put it in his hands

As time goes on there are days when we feel sad
When that happens think of the good times you’ve had
Lift up your head and carry on
And ask God to make you strong

Lean on God through your stress and strain
And he will surely ease the hurt and pain

With sympathy

May 30, 2010

May God Bless and keep you strong in your time of sorrow.

I dropped a tear in the ocean. The day she finds it is the day I will stop missing her. As difficult as it may be, we must not be mournful that we've lost her, but instead choose to be happy that we ever had her at all. Much peace and love to you Uncle James and Shayna.
Love, Marc, Sharon, Marcus, and Coco

My deepest sympathy goes out to Mr. Jimmy, Shayna, and the entire family.I stopped in the barber shop on yesterday to see Mr. Jimmy to get my eyebrows done and heard the sad news from Mr. Johnson. I never had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Thelma but I have known Mr. Jimmy since I was a little girl as he has been my Dad and brothers Barber for many years. Shayna and I met in college and instantly became friends talk about a small world. However they always spoke very fondly of Mrs. Thelma so I know in my spirit that she was a special women. If there is anything that we can do for you all please don't hesitate to call. We love you guys and are so sorry for your loss.
