I worked with Thelma at Belding Corticelli. I started there when I was young and met her. What a wonderful lady. She will truely be missed by all. May you rest in the arms of Jesus Thelma.
She was my friend and was truly loved by so many.
We will miss you Aunt Sis. Go home to your brothers and keep them in line!
Aunt Sis was always caring for others and now it is her time to be cared for. She said she would be seeing her Mama and her boys and no doubt she is there with them now. Love Becky
You will be missed.
