Memories and Condolences
for Thelma Atlas

Not sure what to say?





Dear Gerry,

I only heard recently of your loss. I know how close my parents, Roy and Bernice, were to you and Thelma. You were very lucky to have each other as friends and we thought of your family as our extended family. When the news was good, you and Thelma were always just a phone call away to share it with and always, always were there with good advice or to lend an ear, as great friends do for each other. My heart goes out to you and hope you find comfort in good memories and the support of your family.

Dear Gerry,



I was saddened to learn of your loss today, and I remember the wonderful times that my parents, Claire & Bill Wolin, always had with you and Thelma. Whenever they came to town, one of the first things they did was to telephone you two and make a date, because they always had such a good time in your company. They spoke of you both fondly and often. I hope that, in time, you will take comfort in your family and in the wonderful memories you have of your life together.



Fondly,

Brenda Wolin Terry
