Thelma was a much loved and valued member of our Penhall family. She will be missed by all.
I always enjoyed time spent with Thelma – her highly observant nature, her political beliefs and ethical values, her feistiness, her sharp wit, the way she was always up with the latest news and current affairs and her pride in her family.
Thinking of you, Laraine and Pam, and your families as you navigate this time.
Mrs. Finn was a wonderful, caring and kind person.
She treated me like her daughter when I was boarding with her family in Oakleigh.
I will always remember her kindness and cheerful smile.
May she Rest in Peace!!

Sea Fever
By John Masefield
I must go down to the seas again, the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the sea again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gulls way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
Mum was raised in Port Melbourne and had a lifelong love of the ocean and the romance of the tall ships. We thought Mum would appreciate this poem.
Rest in peace Mum. Xx
Laraine and Pamela
