Dave and Wilma was the first family our family met when we moved to the area twenty years ago. They became valued friends-we raised our boys together. It seems impossible that Dave has been gone for twelve years. We will miss her warmth and love-but she is in good company-again with Dave and Grace and the folks on the other side that love her, too. She has left her family with many warm memories and we will think of her often. Peace and comfort be with all of you in the Huff-Robinson clan.

Wilma was a gracious and loving woman. Her family meant everything to her. she was very proud of her children, their wives and her grandchildren. Although she was my sisters mother in law she always thought of my children at christmas time and always made sure that there was something under her christmas tree for them. Wilma will always be loved and missed greatly by all who knew her.

I first met Wilma in 1981, I was a very green LPN, and she took me under her wing and taught me the in's and out's of a very small hospital. She always had time to help, even if she was swamped with paper work. I do not believe there was anything she could not do. When your dad would bring you boys in for lunch on a sunday, she glowed! I enjoyed hearing her stories, and will never forget she gave me a jar of Elderberry jam, I still can not identify those bushes after all these years. She...
