Thelma has been a grandma figure to me for many years. She & Ivan lived across the street and welcomed me, Dawn, & my brother Eric over for lemon aid or ice cream. It was always served in "breakable" dishes on a platter! How special that was to me as a kid!! She always welcomed me with warm conversation whether she was gardening, cleaning, or just sitting out on the porch!! Oh, how I will miss her!! I too know she is in heaven looking at all the beautiful things her eyes can now see!!
