I forgot to give my resume and told her I didn't have a chance to bring one. Should I include that with a cover letter. Can you give an example of a cover letter and thank you letter? Thanks for the answers in advance.

As a hiring manager I will tell you this.
First off, I usually have a decision made before the interview is over. It doesn't matter if I get a thank you letter or not. I don't care. Now, in your case you need to get the resume to them so maybe you have a better reason to send a thank you. Something like ..."thanks for the interview and here is that resume"
BUT, I will also tell you this. If you don't have a copy of your resume and you make an excuse like "I didn't have a chance to bring one" then I would already consider you unprepared and would not consider hiring you. And for the love of GOD, use spell check on your resume. If I see a misspelled word then you automatically didn't get the job. (I may have misspelled things in this answer, but it isn't my resume so no givin me any crap :)
Well I see I got a thumbs down so let me just add that this is my opinion based on the following facts...
When I interview, I need to hire someone. Thank you letters usually come off *** brown nosing to me and really don't change anything about the interview. And, we usually have many many applicants for the same job, so I can afford to be extra picky. Yup, one typo and no interview. That's it (unless for instance it is a name that spell check would not catch and is easily misspelled, then I'd give benefit of the doubt).
I will however agree that many people are different and it can't hurt to send a letter.

not exactly a cover letter now since you have already had the interview but i would drop by and give them your resume with a handwritten thank you note (not a long letter just a little note could even be as small as a thank you note you would send someone who gave you a gift)
it should say something like this
Thank you so much for interviewing me for this position. I enjoyed talking to you about my qualifications. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerly yours,
(your name)

Write your thank you immediately.
You should send a cover letter and resume in a separate envelope or even drop it off personally if it's not out of state or something like that.

Send the resume with the thank you letter and send both now. Write your own letters. The reason I say this is you will be misrepresenting yourself if someone else does it. If you can't write well, better they know it now.
