She was the sweetest aunt. I fondly remember summers staying in Keysville helping out on the farm watching Aunt Thelma churn butter and making her own biscuits. I always thought she was so beautiful. Rest in peace lovely lady and I know my dad is glad to be with you.

Thelma was a second mother to me growing up. She had such a kind heart and loved her family more than anything. Although it has been many years since I’ve seen her, I thought of her and her family often. She will be greatly missed.

To the Fallen family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Fallen’s passing. She was a good church friend, neighbor, and coworker to my Mom and just an inspiration to me growing up. I always admired her strength, elegance, kindness, grace, and dignity. When my Mom passed, she made sure to send me a sweet sympathy card. And I will forever be grateful for her thinking of me. I know the family and community will miss her. God Bless.

As I was growing up and my grandmother was living I always knew at least one person was praying for me. I knew Mama Thelma prayed for me. When I was with her I felt so loved. I knew she went to God on my behalf. She was precious. She was a true example of a disciple of Jesus. I have been so blessed by her family especially her sweet daughter Wendy. I ask our Heavenly Father to wrap all her loved ones in His loving care. BLESSED – that is what we all are for having the privilege of knowing her. See you in Heaven Mama Thelma. With much love. Annette

I’m so sorry for your loss. I will always remember your mother as a very sweet and kind lady when I attended Union Grove church. My children met her at the church and whenever I saw her throughout the years she always asked about them. She was always so kind and always smiling.
