I've remember this night like yesterday. How we laughed about being grown grown.
I'm am saddened to hear about Wilma. She was not just a friend, but more like family to me. We were co-workers and became friends. We were always doing something together until she moved away. And even then if I went to Austin we met up to go eat and catch up. I called her in December as I had not talk to her in a bit and she told me she was back in Houston. I was low-key mad I didn't know. I last text her in May to check on her and of course she said she was good. She was never one to...
