My heart & prayers go out to Earline Peterson and her family. Earline is a dear friend of my grandmother, Phyllis McCargo, and myself. I am so sorry for your loss, Earline. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting your mother, but it was such a joy to read her obituary which stated she "talked to the Lord daily giving thanks". What an inspiration! We know she is in heaven with Jesus celebrating :)
With Love,
Amy Bowers & family

I believe Thelma is my cousin. Since my father, Ira Pettis, died I did not know
her married name. If she is, her father was Angus Taylor, of Wausau, FL and
was the brother of my grandmaother, Laura Frances Pettis(Taylor). We used to go to Uncle Ang's and Aunt Etta's. If I am wrong, I apologize. My email is
[email protected]. I am doing geneaology and would love to meet you. I am sorry for your loss. Gld bless you.Paullean Pettis Capps

Thelma was a lovely lady, she was my Idol. If I live as long as she I want to be just like her. She was a great person, sorry I am out of town and will not be able to attend her funeral. I will remember her the way she was - always active, until the leg took her down.
