    Such fond memories of both Thelma and Jim as neighbors and church family at Conway. Enjoyed a visit with Thelma last fall. I was reminded my dad had been an attendant at their wedding. She talked of how she and Jim had met. May God bring comfort and peace to Shirley, Linda and their families, and may you cherish all your memories. Ellen.
