Hi Kids, (Well, some of you are my age and older..). Sorry to hear of Thelma’s passing. While time and distance has kept us apart, I will not forget her, or the kindness she showed my mother, after our grandfather’s passing…..Frank Mc Cart ….PS I posted a yearbook photo of Thelma here. I hope that it is ok.
