Family, There is no one like Thelma Bedenbender, my father's youngest sister. Full of joy, with a twinkle in her eye akin to my father's own grin. There was no place I felt more at home when we visited in Kansas. Her peacefulness, hearty laugh, warm embrace and love for all infect everyone. Peace, joy and love are the three words that describe her most to me. Knowing as a nephew the great deposit she made in my life, I cannot imagine the appreciation and loss you feel as her children and grandchildren. I mourn with you. I look forward to our reunion together with her brother/my father, Donald Tidd, in paradise. God bless you, Aunt Thelma. Rest in Peace. Peace be with you, family. Brian R. Tidd
