Condolence: To the sons and family of Thelma:

This is Kathy, the piano player for the sing a longs that Thelma ( and Jon ) always came to. It was so apparent in her eyes and her smile just how much she loved our sing a longs and we loved, so, having her there and watching the joy that we brought to her.

Janet, our song leader, and I both adored watching Thelma SO MUCH. She was the "bright light" of the sing a longs.

It didn't take long after she started coming that she had won our hearts and we knew that, we, too, had won hers! We all 3 adored each other.

I am so very thankful that she came into my life. She has a true and very meaningful spot in my heart that I will carry with me, forever.

To understand what Thelma was like you had to meet her and see her. You can't "explain" her in words but she was a true "classic," one of those kinds you never want to have to part with or from.

SHE IS IRREPLACEABLE!!!!!!!!!!! I love her dearly and am thankful that I was able to bring some true joy into her life, and I KNOW that I did, as all you had to do was see her face light up at hearing those old songs. And, she brought just as much joy into our lives as that is the best part of doing the sing a longs is making those that come "happy" with the music.

Boys, your mom was a REAL TREASURE!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry we had to lose her but we know she is at peace with your dad, now. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing her with us the times that you did!!!!!!!!!!! TREASURE YOUR MEMORIES OF ONE FINE AND "FUN" LADY, and I know that you will.

With much love and sincerity,
Kathy ( the piano player for sing a longs )
