Condolences

We loved Thelma and will miss her greatly. I remember several years ago, Thelma told me I was her favorite niece. I felt the same of her...she was my favorite aunt. Thelma was full of mercy and kindness. Her love for the Lord showed in all she did. Her love and concern for others was evident with her open door policy...if you needed a place to stay she made room as many of her family and friends have experienced. She reached out to others making them feel as though they mattered most. Her most recent plan was in contemplating where she would live, she told us she wanted a 3 bedroom apartment to be able to host missionaries or out of town guests. A touching memory once again.
Our love and prayers are with you now. May the God of all comfort bring comfort to your grieving hearts. (2 Corinthians 1:3-5)
Love to you all,
Perry & Kathy Stewart

Thelma will long be remembered by Lois and I as one of the sweetest persons we’ve ever known. Whether in the valley of adversity or on the mountain top of successfulness she always wore a sweet smile and attitude of joyfulness. Her sweet spirit was contagious and would quickly lift the spirits of all who knew her. She clearly knew how to be abased, and how to abound. She may have entered into her well deserved rest, but she will live on in all of our hearts through her infectious spirit of gratefulness, perseverance, and complete trust in her Savior. The warm smile she always wore has been forever burned into our memory of her.
Our thoughts, love, and prayers are now with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. May the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Doug and Lois Karan

She was an amazing woman. She also was my BFF. I truly miss her a lot. I know if she could have taken her phone with her, I know I would have gotten a call every day. And we would laugh at the dumbest things. I know I will see her someday. God is a powerful God. We need to trust in him forever. I love you Thelma. I need to go get a Hot Dog from Dutchway in her memory.

We want Thelma's family to know that she was a great friend and she always made it point to spend time with my Mother at Dutchway no matter how busy she was. We were looking forward to getting together for lunch after her husband's affairs were settled. We never got that chance. We will be reminded of that every time we go to lunch on Wednesdays. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow so we must always take advantage of doing all the good we can with the day we are given. We love you Thelma.

So Sorry to hear of Thelma's passing and the passing of Tom in the same year. Thelma was a dear sweet women who taught me how to drive and made a mean chocolate pudding pie. I have many fond memories and was glad she passed through my life even if it was for a short time. She was constantly kind and loving. I hope peace finds you in your time of grieving.
