We just found out about Thelma. We know she loved Gene, Larry, and Vicky so much. She was a friend to everyone she met. We always enjoyed our conversations with her when we attended Full Gospel as well as Facebook interactions and Christmas cards from her. Larry, Vicky, and Gene, remember that Grandma is in heaven and would love to see you there one day. She loved Jesus and spread that love to others.

Sorry we were late receiving the news, but words cannot express how much that lady meant to my wife and me. She was truly a patriot for her Lord and a best friend we ever had. Just one more incentive for making our journey true to meet her in heaven.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ms. Thelma. She was always so sweet and welcoming whenever I saw her. Her & Gene were my favorite customers when I worked at the bank. She will surely be missed by all that knew her.
