My deepest sympathy to the Robb family. I was very fortunate to have grown up with such a wonderful neighborhood Grandmother to look out for us all. I will always remember her candy can tree she put out for us kids. Peace.

I always remember her singing in her “wonderful voice” I’m only a bird in a gilded cage. God bless her, she was a kind and giving person. I know Laura you are going to miss her so much. You were so good to her. She was loved by many. Kay behmlander

Such a wonderful neighbor and friend to the Donnelly’s and the entire “Linn Street Gang”….. Everyone loved her. I stopped to visit her on the 14th…had been a couple years since I saw her..found her still bright and chatty asking about all the families. She amazed me with her memory and we had such a nice visit… She was smiling when I left and promised to be at her 100th. God had other plans…BUT now the “gang “. Is together again…just imagine the celebration!! Linda Donnelly Gontko.

We are neighbors of Thelma’s son Bill and enjoyed going over when she was there to visit and watch her with her gift projects. She loved coming at Christmas and having Bill help her make dozens and dozens of cookies to share with friends and her family. What a great lady and will be missed!

I miss seeing and taking care of Thelma so much. When I walk by her room I expect to see her still. Her room seems so empty, as is my heart. She was a beautiful person. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. We will all miss her, but she is in her new home where there is no suffering or pain. With all my love. Judy Foster

I miss seeing and taking care of Thelma so much. When I walk by her room it seems so empty, as is my heart. I enjoyed being around Thelma. She made me towels to hang in my kitchen. My prayers are with the family. We know that she is in a special place where there is no suffering or pain. With Love Judy Foster, LPN

Thelma,
Thanks for all of your help with the early history of the Lewie family in Bay County, Michigan, back in the early 1990s. Your information about your cousins Wendell Lewie (my grandfather) and his sister Wanda, helped out a lot. God speed!Chris J. Lewie,
