Sincerest Christian condolences on your loss. I never met Thelma but remember Reva Jones telling me about her and all of great uncle Marcus Edley's line in Okla. I phoned Reva's daughter LaRue in Warner Robbins, GA, to give her the sad news. Praying God's blessings on you all. (I'm a grandson of Isham Alexander (Bud) Woodward, who was Edley's brother)
