Thelma
Hi everyone,
It is with great sadness that we report the loss of a dear team member, Thelma. Thelma lost her battle with lung cancer at the end of May. None of you ever talked to her by phone, but if you ever bought 10-yard coils of cord, Japanese cord, Chinese knotting cord, hand-dyed cord or packets of findings, Thelma bagged them for you. When we fill orders, we’re still pulling out bags that Thelma packed, and we miss her every time we see the familiar handwriting on the bags. Thelma was 73 years old and worked up until 2 weeks before she passed away, helping to support a disabled son. What we’ll miss the most is her cheerful smile and always upbeat attitude, even in the face of great pain. She had a difficult life, but always focused on helping others. She will always be an inspiration to us.
