Guestbook

  1. Thea was a one-of-a-kind lady; so much fun to be around and such a people person. We always enjoyed having dinners out with Phil and Thea back through the years. Her sense of humor was always a delight. She loved talking about her children and grandchildren! Anyone who knew her will always remember her as a shining light!

  2. RIP Thea. Blessings to Thea’s family. She was proud of her children. Thea was a wealth of knowledge in the antiques world and always happy to help me learn from her. I have fond memories of her early shop with Mrs. stone on Michigan Ave. Then a later shop across from Springhill College was a favorite! She was quite a gal. I send love and prayers.
