Our thoughts and prayers are with you all..we are so sorry for your loss…we loved Wilma …God Bless you^j^ Alll of our love ?
Blessed to have her as my Grandma.
If one thing would accurately describe Wilma it would be that she enjoyed her life, she definitely lived it to the fullest. Her body may have been 88, but her spirit was still many, many years younger. I know that she will be sorely missed.
Aunt Wilma was a great lady of many talents and had such a sweet spirit. We will enjoy the books she wrote of the family for many generations. Although we can’t travel this week to be with you all, our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always! Love you all!!
Sending our love and prayers to all the family at this difficult time. Just remember, the love lives forever.
TO: Tammy and Jason, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you all….
