I extend my heartfelt condolences to JoAnn & Thelma Woods & the Weatherd family. Aunt Thelma was a wonderful, godly woman with a heart of gold. She had a great personality, a sweet spirit & a beautiful smile. We met through JoAnn & Thelma & instantly formed a bond. Now she has transitioned from this life to be home with God, her loving husband, Rev. Roscoe Weatherd, her sister, Mrs. Lillie Woods and her other siblings. Although there will be a void in our lives because she is no longer with us, I will always remember her smile & keep her memory in a special place in my heart. May God grace and peace comfort you in this difficult time.
