My deepest symapthy to the Family of Sister Wilma Alexander. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I worked with her in the Ladies Ushers Union. She always had a postive word to lift people up not down. May God keep the family in their time of bereavement.
With Love N. J. Broadie

As a friend and sister O.E.S. member we shared many laughs and stories. Wilma was truly a christian woman who talked about her love of family and church. Hold on to those cherished memories and GOD will make your days lighter as HE knows best. May God keep and bless each of you. Such a wonderful woman of GOD.
