George and Judy so sorry for your loss. Praying for you.

How my heart goes out to all who loved Ms. Wilma! I have come to love her during her stay at the Plaza when I came to know her through First Baptist's Homebound Care Team ministry. Her main topic of conversation was always her family that she treasured so much. Can't you imagine her standing pain free and fully hearing the heavenly choir? May God's comfort remain with each of you.
