Thelma was a sweet and wonderful person! She talked about her children with great pride and love, and she so loved Von. I worked at the postal service with her . She was on route 22 and I was positioned near her on Route 9. We also worked on a quality in the workplace team. She will be missed, but not forgotten. My sympathies to her family.
