Not sure what to say?

Dear Tim & Jennifer,

I got quite a shock when my sister called & told me aboout your Mom. Even though we have not talked in a few years, I have the greatest memories of our times together. One of the best was our trip to New England in her new Mustang convertible & how when it was my turn to drive , I took the wrong exit & went back towards Illinois. She NEVER let me forget it. We became friends when I started working at Boatmen's & did many crazy things with the gang from there....

Wilma had a heart of gold. She would give you the shirt off her back. But, she gave me so much. She gave and shared so much with my family and I. My memories of her and the time we spent on the Italian Fest committee are plenty. Then there was the times that we talked about life and how things are not always fair. I learned and felt so much every time we talked. Rest in peace my friend and know that you will never be forgotten.
Love you.
Pat

To the Chase Family,

I met Wilma with my friend Sandy at the Rams game and QB Club. She sure knew her football and baseball and I know she's up in heaven cheering on the Rams. Wilma was quite a unique lady and will truly be missed. I am very sorry for your loss.

THE CHASE FAMILY,

WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF WILMA, SHE WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND WILL BE MISSED, WE LOVED THE TIME WE HAD WITH HER AT VALLEY RIDGE WITH ALL HER WONDERFUL SPORTS STORIES.

Words can never describe my memories of my friend, Wilma. Our friendship began in 1972 when our sons were together in kindergarten at Twin Echo School and went all through C.H.S. We were together as clowns at school picnics to fans at all of our children's sporting events. Wilma was always ready to work in PTA fundraisers to coaching basketball to cutting grass. What needed to be done, she was there.

Not only was she my friend, she was a great friend to my son, Tim. She always...

We shared very good times with Wilma and her family. Wilma was a true friend and a gift to all who knew her. We wish God's Peace and comfort to Bill, Tim and Jennifer.

Wilma was a jewel. Not only do I have memories of her being a cool mom to Jen and Tim but an AMAZING friend to my father, especially after his stroke. Words can not truly express the woman that was Wilma. She had the biggest heart and the most passion for people. I loved her Cardinal van as well as the Ram van. Lots of memories of her bring a smile to my face. Enjoy your peace Wilma for you worked so hard hear on earth. I am sure you and my Dad are having quite the reunion. Hugs to...

Wilma was quite an avid Rams fan, and that's where my husband and I met her (our seats were next to hers at the Dome). She loved being at the games, especially Super Bowl year. Besides being quite a sports fan, though, Wilma cared about others, and was always giving of her time and energy to various charities. She was a good woman and she will be missed by many.

Tim and Jennifer,

I am very sorry for your loss. I hadn't seen your mother since Grandma Connie died. I will never forget Wilma's grin and hearty laugh.
