Thelma was my friend and co-worker for more than 35 years. She always talked to me about her love for her children,grandchildren,church and the Lord. My sympathy to all of her family,she loved all of you with all of her heart and was very proud of you. I will miss visiting and talking with my very dear friend. Go rest high on that mountain Thelma,your work on earth is done. Betty Sue Parker
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Thelma. She was a true inspiration to my mother seeing that she was credited for continually witnessing to my mother to come to church and revival meetings. My mom took her advice and went to church and got saved in 1971 and has never lost her fervor for God. Thelma spent countless hours praying for my family and has raised a very sucessful family. she has now gone on to her eternal reward and is in Heaven. Matt McAuley, Nashville,NC

As we make our journey through this life, death is our final stop. In a time when our tears are pouring & our heart is breaking. (Ps.3418) The Bible gives us comfort in our time of grief. Even the perfect man, JESUS CHRIST, Gave way to tears. So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous. (John 1135) All-though Jesuss ministry was for only 3 years, it had the greatest impact, then any other event in all of history. Jesus was approachable, & kind, LOVE was the motivation, for everything That Jesus did. Jesus spend his ministry , telling the people of the kingdom, healing the sick, expelling demons, & in some cases raising some from the dead. (Rev. 213,4) Giving us a glimpse of what is yet to come. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come back to life (John 1125) May the God of all comfort give you refuge, & strength, in your most difficult time. (2 Cor. 13,4). Love was the reason for the ransom sacrifice, showing the great love that Jehovah & Jesus had for all of mankind. (John 316) What a wonderful gift we have been giving, to have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again.
