I worked with Mrs. Wise at the old "W.T. Grant" store more than 35 years ago while I was in high school. She was always so good and kind to me and my heart goes out to you.

May the Lord comfort you during the days ahead as you keep the loving memories of your mother in your heart. I worked with Thelma in the Payroll Office at NNSY. She was a fine person.
