I'll always have very fond memories of Thelma. She used to babysit my brother Ian and myself, and we loved being there. Her and Robbie had a bunch of turkeys that would chase us and scare the heck out of us. She always came to our rescue, and plied us with treats. She also let me play with her ornaments, and she always said how careful I was with them. I loved her laugh, it would make you just crack up as well! Thelma and Robbie were good friends of my parents, and with her passing, a big chapter of our past is closed. I'll never forget her, and I pray God will keep her close and reunite her with Robbie. Rest well, dear Thelma. - Posted by: Donna Cherniak (nee Linklater) (friend) on: Feb 15, 2013

Grandma Land was a wonderful person, a great grandmother. I know that she will be missed by all. My only regret is that I never got to travel to let her meet her Great-grandchildren I know that she is watching over them and protecting them. I wish I could express to her one more time how much she truly meant to me and how deeply I truly love her. I know we will meet again in Heaven, I love Grandma Land.
