Mrs. Willa was a great lady and was best friends to my mother for many many years. They were the same age and lived through the same hardships and good times together. My mother passed in 2009 but I know they are together in heaven now reminiscing about the times they shared. She will be dearly missed. My prayers go out to all the ones that she loved. Rest in peace
