When I came to Rhode Island, Thelma became a second mother to me. I will miss her smile, laugh, and gatherings at the farm in Foster. Now she is with Sardi working on that heavenly to do list! She will remain in my thoughts and prayers forever. May the Lord bless her and shine His light upon her.

RIP Auntie Thelma. I will always remember the fun times at the farm and when I would stay there during summer vacation and never wanted to leave. She was always fun to be around and will always remember her laugh.
My thoughts and prayers are with Joyce and Don. I can’t think of Aunt Thelma without remembering all the good times at the farm in foster. May you find comfort in knowing that she is finally at peace. Love you guys. ?❤️
There are no words. May she and all of you find peace.
I will miss Aunt Thelma with her silliness and funny hats she would where from the 70’s Her an Mark would have long conversations when he would go over to help her he love her too. I will never forget the fun times we all had at the farm in Foster and when I would bring Melinda to visit she would sit on the floor and color with her. Melinda called her Auntie Filmore.. don’t know why but she loved it she thought it was so cute. now she is gone to be with uncle sardi and may they both rest in peace
