Thelma was such an elegant lady. She took time to do things the best way. I remember watching her hands with a bar of soap, shaking the water off the soap bar before returning it to its holder. The grace of her movements doing this mundane task made such impression on me that to this day, some 40 years later, when washing my hands I see that image of her.
Heart hugs to her 3 daughters who carry that grace to yet another generation.
Love, Betsy Lilly Nelson
