    Jim So sorry to read of Wilda's passing. Will never forget the time she called our house when we were teenagers - a long, long, time ago. She asked me to talk you into getting a haircut. I often ran into her at the beauty shop - she was always a stitch. She will be missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Carla (Fudge) and Brent

    Wilda and Carl were good neighbors "around the curve" from my parents. Jim rode the same school bus as my borther and I. Growing up in the Methodist Church, I knew I could always find Wilda and Mrs. Standley on the back row center section. She loved her church and was a great caregiver to her Mom. My mother and I stopped on Thursday to chat with Carl at the mailbox. Wilda was missing her hair appointment that day, which told us she was very ill. She will be dearly missed. We know she was welcomed into heaven by her family and friends. Our heartfelt sympathy to Carl, Jim, Angel and her Sisters. Sincerely, Wanda L. Williams and Patsy Williams Porter

    Wilda and I have been best friends since 1944. We both worked at Spring Mill Inn when we met. Through the years she has been the best friend and a great Christian sister to me. I will miss her dearly! Our family sends their prayers, love and condolences to Carl, Jim, Angel, Wallacia and Wuanita. Love, Martha, Leroy Brown, Gayla & Tim Goff
