Debra Heller & Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your mother’s death. It was a shock to all of us.
I think that the loss of one’s mother is by far the saddest event of anyone’s lifetime.
I know that the thoughts are no doubt overwhelming that nothing ever will quite be the same. That certainly is true, however, soon you will have the memory of your mom that will live on in your hearts and minds.
"May you be comforted in your sorrow
On the loss of your beloved mom
May you find comfort and peace in knowing
That you are not alone"

I’m very sorry to hear of Thelma’s passing. I remember her, Keith and boys from childhood, though I did reacquaint myself with Dennis for a while when he was managing a Burger King in Manassass, VA.
Dear Family of Thelma Heller,
It was with surprise that we read about the home going of Thelma. We will miss her friendly smile and kind words. We rest assured that she is now happy in the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus. May knowing so many people share your grief with you, help you through this time of sorrow. In reality we rejoice in the knowledge of knowing that she is present with the Lord and is no longer suffering from the pains and responsibilities of this world. May God’s comfort be always near you all, and as memories come floating into your thoughts,like butterflies,give praise to Jesus for all the wonderful occasions of fellowship with Thelma.
Sincerely, Audrey and Bill Benedick, Calvary Church
