It is with “Heavy Hearts” that we acknowledge that Our “Angel On Earth (Thelma),” is no longer here in the physical form. However, she will ALWAYS live in our hearts and continue to watch over us from above.
Thelma never met a stranger and she always showed “True Love” to those who came in contact with her.
My Dear Sister,
You will be missed more than words can express. Whenever I needed someone to talk to you were there to listen. Whenever I needed to cry you wiped away my tears. When I was happy you shared my joy. “I will always Treasure YOU and the Good Times we shared together.”
To My Brother (MAQ),
Thank You for LOVING Thelma unconditionally. You were by her side day and night. She always knew she was truly LOVED by you. Keep your Head Held High and cherish the memories of Your Angel.
To Our Family:
Stay Strong, Stay Safe and continue to be there for each other. The “Love” we share will get us through these Unprecedented Times!
I Love You All!!!

I love you, Uncle. I love you, Family.
