Our heartfelt condolences to Douglas Carmichael for the passing of of his mother Thelma Carmichael.
She was such a blessed human being – she went through life always sharing with others the gifts God gave to her – joy, kindness, love and her cooking skills, too. Her homemade waflles and cookies, to say the least were out of of this world as Roy used to say.
We had fun moments playing cards, we had pleasant moments having dinners, visiting and enjoying those simple pleasures only true friendship can offer.
Douglas, we got to know you through Thelma as she used to talk frequently about you – she was so proud of her son Doug.
We keep you,Douglas,and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
