Aunt Wilma - I have many fond memories from childhood of visiting you at the lake, picnics, swimming, and fireworks. I used to stop & visit with you while you worked at the school in the summer and my hubby was fishing at the lake. We have had many wonderful phone conversations. I remember taking you home with me the night before Uncle Bubbie passed when I lived in Lancaster. You never forgot my birthday either. You will be missed. My prayers are with Randy, Melanie & Wally and their families as they say goodbye to a wonderful mom. Love, Rose Ann

I have very fond memories of Mrs. Gabriel as I was growing up. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word to say to everyone. I always bought my prize chances from her at the Sweet Corn Festival just so I could talk to her. Heaven is getting a true angel. My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. With deepest sympathy.
