Our love and deepest sympathy to you all in the loss of your dear Mum and Gran. One of my special memories was those hilarious 9 hole golfers, when I was club captain at Stratford. Yes, Thelma was one of those! Treasure your memories. Wendy & Scotty Waite.

To Rod, Barry and their families may we extend our love, prayers and sympathy to you. May pictures be wonderful memories by which you will remember this very special person in your life. As the diva Tina Turner sang in her song "You're simply the best" Thelma. Peace ,love and happy memories Chick and Jude Wills

Thelma and Bernie were two wonderful people that I remember well. Thelma was a friend of my late mother. Your Dad was a great supporter during our basketball days.
Rod - I have nothing but admiration for your many visits to Mum all the way from Canada.
May she rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the Finch family.
Was sad to read of Mums passing this morning. I have been left with many happy memories of Thelma especially when she used to call in with mum Ruby and Dot for a cuppa every Saturday after they had finished the shopping for the battens up at the Stratford RSA.
We had many laughs and I shall always remember her great sense of humour. Sorry am unable to say goodbye to mum so give her a hug from me please.
My thoughts are with you all.

Love Elaine Goodin

So very sorry to read of "Aunty Thelma's" passing. She was a dear sweet lady who was always able to make me laugh. The world is a much sadder one without her here. My heart and thoughts are with all the family. I send you all love. Denise Elstone (nee Walsh)

So many years. The Finch / Barker / and Nix families living as next door neighbours. Now with Thelma gone that is the end of an era. All seems surreal. Rest in Peace Thelma.

To Barry, Rod & Families
Very sorry to hear of your Mum's passing. Another one of Stratford's "identities" - will be well remembered for her time at Lucas's. She would often come in to Mum's ( Rita Thompson ) room at Maryann when I was visiting Mum and we would reminisc about the " good old days". And your Dad had a long association with Dad ( Murray ) at the Stratford Swimming Club.
Warmest Regards
Lynne Wisnewski ( nee Thompson ) - Melbourne, Australia

Love to you all
