Donna and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your precious mother. While you miss her terribly, even yet you have joy through our Lord and Savior, knowing that she is walking streets of gold enjoying sights and sounds that we might only imagine. She is now free from the chains that bound her here on earth, flitting like a beautiful butterfly that has just emerged from its' cocoon. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days ahead.

Mrs. Wilma was a very special lady. I will always treasure the short time I spent with her. She displayed faith, wisdom, unconditional love and how to live in the mist of suffering!
