Thelma I will always remember the BIG stories we use to exchange about our mushroom hunting. I know your up there looking for that BIG mushroom. I Love You & you will be so missed by your family & friends. My thoughts are with Bill & your family members. Diana Boltinghouse Breaux Bridge Louisiana
The thing I miss most about my grandma is her little laugh. ‘Tee hee hee’. I miss her garden. I miss making homemade noodles with her. I also miss the way you would go into the room, try to announce yourself with a cough as to not startle her, and you would say ‘Grandma or Thelma’ and she would practically jump out of her skin. I’m happy she is no longer in pain. I was sad to see her start to get ill. I am glad my mother got to take care of her and Bill as much as she did. She will be missed by those who knew her.
I was sad to hear of your mother passing Randy, you and your dad & family are in my thoughts & prayers.. Connie Thompson Stapp
My condolences to the DaVee family, she will be greatly missed. Even though it had been several years I had not seen her a couple of years ago I had been in town and was blessed to see her once again at church. I wasn’t sure she would recognize me but she did with such enthusiasm it still makes my heart full of joy. I’ll never forget her nor the chocolate pies she used to make!!! She certainly touched the hearts of all the people she met!
Randy: My best to you, your father and family. I know she will leave a void in your heart even as she is at rest. Sincerely, Ralph M. Foley
