Thelma was a very special Lady. I was so very grateful she and my Dad, Don Julien found each other for friendship. She will be truly misses by all.
I am very glad I spent some time with Thelma on Christmas Eve. We had a wonderful visit. I never guesses it would be our last until we meet again.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO KNOW THELMA.SHE REIMINDED MY ALOT OF MY MOM, DOLORES SAGER JULIEN. IN FACT THEY WENT ALL THROUGH SCHOOL TOGETHER. AFTER MOM’S DEATH IN 2002, MY DAD AND THELMA BECAME GOOD FRIENDS AND THEY WERE ABLE TO VISIT EACH OTHER PERIODICALLY. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILIES.
Thelma was a dear friend, will
miss her and our long talks on
phone.
