Dear Wanda, Michele, Camille & Family:

Never a burden that He does not carry;
Never a sorrow that He does not share;
Whether the days may be sunny or dreary,
Jesus is always there.

"Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows."
Isaiah 53:4

I read this recently and wanted to share it with you all. Much Love,
Eunice Glover-Adams & Family

My deepest sympathy. It is truly a sorrowful day. We have lost one of the most gracious and tender souls. Willie always stood head high even in the most troubling times. I worked with her starting in the 1960's and was friends with her until her retirement.

Wanda, I always knew your mom had a first name, but since we were 14 years old, it was always mommy! Well mommy is absent from this world and having a ball with the Father. We will miss her physical presence, but rest in the assurance that her spirit lives forever. May the Holy Spirit comfort all of you during this time.
