To the Lamb family. Willa was a very good friend whom I loved very much. She was kind, loving & a giving person and will always be in my heart and memory. It's so hard for us to say good-bye, but think of the infectious smile, the look and the soft-spoken "OK" and we'll always have her with us. Love you guys and stay prayerful.
