Jim Edmondson wrote a sympathy message

“I was privileged to serve as Thelma's CEO for many years. I was privileged that she called me baby. Thelma was a stand-out employee. In our National Quality Program presentation, the presentation that stood between us and selection, I chose Thelma to be one of our speakers. I did so because she was wise and articulate. I am so sad I did not know Thelma was close to death. I would have come to her side to say goodbye. I'll be there today. She is now with our Father. Jim "Chief" Edmondson”
