I just heard about Theda's passing. A lovely lady, who always had a smile and cheerful outlook. A lot of adults will remember her as their room mother, a scout leader, and a servant of the Lord. Her children and grand children were blessed to have had such a remarkable woman as their mother and grandmother.

Dear Amy Family,
Your mother, was a blessing and a joy to serve with, as she was able to help with our VBS here at Calvary Pearland for two years. Her love for the Lord, His church, His saints and those needing salvation was so evident in everything she did. On behalf of Calvary Baptist Church Pearland, we are sorry for your loss, we extend our sympathy, and we too will miss Ms. Theda Amy. "Well done thy good and faithful servant!"
With Grateful Thoughts,
Pastor Steven R. Lee,
