Dear Angle cousins and family,
Tina and I were shocked and saddened to hear about Aunt Thelma’s passing. Our hearts and prayers go out to all you. Both Uncle Ken and Aunt Thelma were dear people! I will always have nothing but fond memories of both of them. Aunt Thelma always welcomed us with open arms and a great big smile. She just seemed to light up like a Christmas tree which I have always admired her for having that quality. It was always a real joy to visit with her in good health and bad.
Tina and I are still in Florida and had been traveling and had no idea about Aunt Thelma until today. I’m so sorry that we can’t be there with you guys as you morn the loss of Aunt Thelma, and share the memories that she is leaving us. This event might close the chapter of her life that she shared with us, but more importantly, allows her too come full circle and once again be united with Uncle Ken.
May they both forever rest in peace, but live-forever in our hearts and mind!!!
Sincerely,
Tina and Steve

Dear Marilyn and Charles,
I just read the online Bellefontaine Examiner and I wanted to send my sympathy for the loss of your mother. My, she had quite a life. I know you will miss her. I still miss my sister, Vicky and my Mom. My Mom has been gone for 2 years and it seems like yesterday.
You and your family will be in my
thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Marlene
P.S. It still seems funny to call you Charles. You still should be Mr. Guthrie. We never outgrow that school attitude I guess.
