My deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Thelma Brown. Obviously, her exterior beauty and ever-present smile were captivating at first sight. However, her inner beauty and warm spirit were even more apparent as you interacted with her. I will forever cherish the memories of Thelma as one of my favorite classmates.
