Jack, so sorry to hear about Thelma's home going. But at the same time rejoice that she has reached her real home! As my pastors, you both had a great impact on my life.

I'm writing this for my mom who just had leg by-pass surgery where they put an artificial vein so the blood flow opened up to her bad foot. She's doing fine and is in ICU now. She will be 91 next month. She said to be sure to tell you that she's thinking about you.

Jack, Cindy, Stew. We have talked of you recently wondering about Thelma. It feels as if a piece of our personal being has been chipped away. Thelma was so important to our life formation and to us personally. Such a model of sophistication and class. And the ability and vivid willingness to laugh. Our love to you and prayers for comfort and healthy grieving.

Pastor, Cindy, Stew and Family--
I am sad for you and thinking of you in hearing of your wife/mom's passing. I reflect back on the time when Pastor Jack and Thelma were my Pastors with great fondness. I remember your wife/mom as a very classy lady, always looking like a million bucks as they say, but always her being so very sweet to us kids and my whole family as well. I know that EVERYONE in my family thought the world of her...she will be missed. One more reason to look forward to heaven... (Fargo, ND)
