Although I just met Thelma 2 years ago and never had the privilege of knowing her before she got sick, I did get to know her very well through her daughters. I know that she loved her family very much and it showed through the dedication her daughters had for there mother I can count on one hand in the last 2 years the amount of days we didn't see one of them comming down the hallway to be with there mom. It is an honour and a privilege knowing the 3 wonderful ladys i will miss Thelma everyday. R. I. P sweetheart and smile knowing you did a fantastic job raising your family I will always love you - Posted by: Shannon LeBlanc (Friend) on: Jan 31, 2015
