Dear family and friends of Our Lady of Grace Catholic School (and beyond),
On Saturday, August 9th, we woke up to the devastating news that one of our own, Mrs. Thelma Dawson, had returned to her God. While we are filled with deep sadness, we are certain that Mrs. Dawson is now living in the place for which she yearned. We rejoice in the fact that she and Our Blessed Mother, whom she loved with all her heart, are now in the kingdom of heaven.
We who are left mourn her passing, especially those of us who worked with her daily. While we knew that she had decided to curtail her full-time activities, she remained open to returning to school regularly to help in areas where she excelled: teaching religion to our little ones, storytelling, and more.
If you would like to assist her family with funeral expenses and more, I invite you to contribute to a memorial fund for Thelma by using the Zeffy link below. Our office will keep all informed of funeral details as we get them.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
In Our Lady's Name and Love,
Gena McGowan, Principal
Our Lady of Grace Catholic School
