Guestbook

  1. “Miss. Thelma will be missed, a true teacher of Gods word.”

  2. “Rick Warren says: “Life is preparation for eternity as we were not “made” to last forever because God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.” I say that we need to remember that we will have our loved ones longer in heaven than on earth… because heaven is for eternity & that’s FOREVER! Extending my sympathy to each family/extended family member as you go through this valley of adjustment. I remain in His grip, Janet Pilkerton”

  3. “Thelma will truly be missed, by anyone who had the joy of knowing her. Her life reflected the grace of God, and his love. “
