My most sincere condolences! I remember Thelma as a very special person. She lived on the corner of my street and we went through junior and high school together. The thing I most remember about her was how shy and nice she was to everyone. That said, she had this certain knowing look on her face when someone was trying put something over on her. She was a very bright spot then and I'm sure she is the same now in a wonderful place.

I'm sorry Thelma had to leave us that way, Cancer is a direful decease. She was so nice, full of life, & considerate of people. I'm sure she had a temper, but she had a big smile as well & always lesson before she spoke. Like Gene said; we had a lot of classes at Black Jr. High & some at Waltrip together with her, but sort of lost contact after High school. My condoles to her family in her passing. Larry Puls
