To all the Thiele Family,
There has been a great loss to/in Blue Mound.
We are so very sorry to hear about the transition. Truely, a special part of the "ole gang" has left us.
I am remembering class parties, ball games, Christmas caroling to her, and that ever present smile.
Mom's are so very special. Mom's are the foundation of any family--the glue that binds the loving years together for us. Most family memeories are Mom centered. Well, who baked the turkey at Christmas? Lit the candles on our birthday cakes? Who had a shoulder to share with/and advice from a liftime of living? Put the band aid on your knee when you fell? Who was your best friend?
We all surely know that we will join her and our other special friends who have gone before us. We rejoice in God's promise of eternal life. It's just watching her getting there that is so hard on thoes she left behind. Just know it was worth it.
That "Better Place" is real and Dorthy is there.
Time will not heal your hurting...but it gives distance to tolerate.
You surely have our sympathies and know that we want you to know that we love you.
David and Betty Scott
A special note to Brenda and Jim...we are thinnking about you at this special time. Love ya. DJS

Brenda, I am sorry to read about your Mother. Two of the things I remember about her was that she always had something positive to say to me and was always so beautifully dressed. We have your family in our prayers.
