My tears and prayers are with the family of my dear and wonderful cousin ‘Thelma’
It is with sadness, yet beautiful memories that I send my love to Renee and Claude.
I pray that the love of God will comfort you both, and that peace and joy will fill your hearts with memories of your wonderful mother.
There are not enough words in the English language to describe Aunt Thelma. As a young girl, she was always a great mentor, friend, listener, strong female role model and loving aunt. She taught us so many life lessons and one in particular for me was how she was a strong dedicated professional woman while raising a loving family.
Unfortunately, I am not going to be home for the funeral tomorrow because my family is participating a Christian youth conference and mission work this week. I certainly am going to miss her words of wisdom but look forward to her greeting and Jesus greeting me as I enter the kingdom of Heaven. I know she and many others will be there to greet us all with open arms.
Family and friends – let’s celebrate all she was to us and cherish the thought of her being happy and healthy in Heaven. I love you all. Aunt Thelma – save me spot in Heaven.
Love, Angie
