I’m so sorry to hear about Mrs Thelma! She was a sweetheart and such a person! She welcomed me to West Helena when I moved here almost 30 years ago, felt like I knew her forever & her sister Ms Kay welcomed us with open arms at the Clinic! They both helped me so much & always looked forward to her sweet smile when she worked at the Pharmacy & also outside with her fur baby when we passed by her house! She will be so missed!

I'm so sad to hear of Thelma's passing! I worked with her for 10 years at the pharmacy. We had a lot of good times together. I remember she made a fantastic Mississippi Mud cake and I always asked her to make it for my birthday. She will be missed. Prayers to the family!
