Leah, Terri & Karla, I send my sympathy to you all with the passing of your mother last week — I did not read the newspaper until last night, thus missing her service. When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Wilma was one of my bestest friends as well as a loving sister. I’ll miss her every day but I know I’ll see her in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this hard time. All my love, Barbara
Karla and family,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother! We both have very fond memories of Wilma. If there is anything we can do please let us know. We will remember you and your family in our prayers. Take care! Bob and Nancy
Roger, Brian and I send our sincere condolences for your loss. Aunt Wilma was a wonderful, kind and generous person and she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Love, Vicki
God Bless you and farewell to a lifelong friend.
