Dearest Uncle A.J., Ron, Jan and Mark;
I have been searching for the words to express how much I loved Aunt Thelma and how saddened I am that she is gone from us. But I simply cannot find them; she was such a special lady, all four of the Keaton girls were, but she was the one that we had the longest and she became a surrogate Mother to all of us who had lost our own. She always had time for us and anyone else who was in need.
She was a model wife and mother, how fortunate your family was to have had all that love for so long. I have such wonderful memories of all of us growing up, lots of love and laughter.
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and be comforted knowing that one day we will all be together again in His Kingdom.
I love you all very much.

Uncle A.J.,
No words could ever ease the pain of losing someone as special as Aunt Thelma, only time and the memories of her can do that. You're in my prayers.

Uncle A.J.,
We'll all miss aunt Thelma deeply, but none more than you, I'm sure. She really had a way of lighting up a room when ever she walked in. Everyone that ever met her loved her, that was just the kind of person she was. Losing her was like losing Mama all over again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Uncle A.J.

Dearest Aunt Thelma,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand. We lived far apart so the times when we could be together seem so much more precious to me.

IT WAS ONLY A BRIEF TIME THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW AND CARE FOR MRS. HARPER, BUT SHE AND YOUR FAMILY HAD SUCH AN IMPACT ON ME AS A NURSE. I COULD FEEL THE LOVE IN THE ROOM AS YOU ALL LEARNED HER DIAGNOSIS AND COULD ALSO FEEL YOUR PAIN. I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AS IT WAS OBVIOUS WHAT A GREAT PERSON SHE WAS, AND I AM SURE SHE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. WITH LOVE, JAMIE RICE, RN EMERGENCY ROOM MHJ.
