John, Suzanne, Flynn, & Kacey,
So sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers during this difficult time. I’ll be watching the funeral Mass online from here in SC.
To all Scheibs I am so sorry to learn of Thelma’s passing. She was a wonderful lady and we always had such a good time catching up on our family’s news at the Heinsler/Watcher family reunions in the summer. May all the sweet memories and good times help all of you through this difficult time. Thelma was a beautiful person inside and out with such a lovely smile! Sending sincere sympathy. Thinking of you. Thelma will be missed.

Sending my sincerest condolences to the entire family. Having gotten to know everyone over the past several years, one thing that was clear to me is how much everyone adored Grandma. She was loved by all her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, and has a tremendous legacy that will last forever. I have numerous memories with Grandma, from going to dinner at Sweet Chick in Brooklyn, to attending Jack’s graduation in Pittsburgh … even staying at her house in Rochester for a couple nights in 2018. I’m so grateful for the time that I got to share with Grandma Scheib. Love and prayers to all.
Memories of Thelma go back to early Holy Family days. Her bright smile and cheerfulness touched us all. She truly was an Angel on Earth!
