Dear sweet Thalia … your time here was to brief … your smile was pretty … always a big smile and a “laugh was good” … Your voice was gently and you were the Lady of your home .. Always food for the visitor …. The sharing of good stories … your positive attitude and your strength to never quit … Always finding a solution to any problem and always “ready” to help “anyone” who was in need. You set a fine example of a daughter, a mother, a niece, a granddaughter and a grandmother , yourself … Thank you for being my sister , You will truly be missed …. Love you, “Richard” 🙂

I’m so very sorry for your loss. It is evident that she was a good and kind person, loved and appreciated by many. I recently lost someone close to me and can appreciate the heartache words cannot describe. With that in mind, I am moved to share with you a thought that helped me through the pain. That is the words of Jesus himself in the book of John, chapter 5 and verse 28, 29. He said ‘Do not be amazed at this. For the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice, and come out.’ I was so relieved to know the bible talks about an earthly resurrection; a time of peace when we will see our loved ones again in perfect conditions according to God’s own will. I encourage you to hold on to that hope and learn more. It is my sincere wish that learning of this will give you the comfort it gave me.
