To the Roose girls and families, Thelma was a beautiful gracious lady that touched my life and so many others. I knew her from my childhood in our neighborhood and then your parents moved next door when my girls were small. I couldn't have gotten better neighbors. That was the hardest part of our move. Then she became a roommate to one of my ladies at the Willows and I got to see her weekly until Covid hit. May you find comfort in your memories and peace in your hearts knowing she had a life well lived.
Roberta Miller Alt and Stephen - May 21, 2021
