“May the God of All Comfort keep your hearts and minds as you celebrate and hold in your memory this wonderful warm mother, sister, aunt and friend. Thelma and I we prayed together, we cried together, she shared her experiences, as I am younger than her and her substance. She was a giver and I am truly blessed by having been her friend and co-worker. God's Grace and Comfort to all who loved and cherished her, Rosita Carter - court reporter”
