    I'm so sorry to hear of Wilma's passing. I worked with her several years ago and she and I would always catch up when I would see her at Sam's. She was a great lady.

    Wilma was and is the most wonderful, compassionate, loving, trusting and all around the greatest friend anyone or family could ever ask for. We were blessed to have had her in our lives for many years. She was loved like a sister, another mother, another grandmother and friend. She will be missed, but never, ever forgotten Love Ed, Bibi, Shanda and Jesse
