Thelma "Mema" Hillebrandt Merendino

I'm sorry for y'alls loss. I was over by Lamar the other day with my oldest daughter and wonder about Mrs. Merendino. Mrs Merendino use to iron my parents clothes back in the 80's. She was a wonderful person.

Dear Debbie and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Thelma was a kind lady, I remember when our dads were alive and we were kids we would always go visit y'all. She was always so sweet to our family. I know you will greatly miss her. May she rest in peace and your memories sustain you all. I am so sorry we are unable to attend the services, you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Sandra and Lon

My Dear Cousins,Cousin Thelma was a gracious Lady and so sweet and loving. I will miss seeing her at the church door on Sunday morning. I will miss her sweet hugs but what consoles me and I hope you is the fact we will see her again. She is getting her well earned reward after a life of serving Our Lord. Rest Well My Cousin

So sorry to hear about Thelma. She was truly a great lady. Our whole family spent so much time with you all, watching everyone grow up, and feel like you are part of our family.
Thinking of you and praying for you all at this time.

Linda and Debbie

There are not enough words to say how sorry we are for the loss of your Memaw, but only to say she left knowing how much you all loved and cared about her . She went ahead to make a place in the sun for you all prayers and love to all of y'all.

Wayne, Debbie and Linda, I so enjoyed your Grandmother. She made me laugh every time I visited. She babysit Luke and Matt for me when I returned to Lamar. But she was such a great friend to Ruth. Mickey loved her like family. She is missed by all of us, but I have a special place in my heart for her. She taught me so much about family. And how to be strong for your family. I send you prayers as you go thought this time. Thanks for sharing her with me. Mary Cobb

our true sympathy for the loss of aunt Thelma. our prayers are with all of her family. That God will lay His healing hand on all for peace and strength

Debbie and Linda sorry to hear about aunt Thelma. She lived a long and full life. Our prayers are with the entire family during this time.

I remember all the times my mother, Anna, and my grandmother, Mary, would bring me by for a visit when I was a toddler. It was at Aunt Thelma's that I was introduced to chocolate milk - something I still love. Those are fond memories I will always cherish.
