I was checking the Hot Springs website to look for my husband's cousin and found Ms. Wilma! I am so sorry that I was not at her service. She was such a wonderful and precious lady. I enjoyed so much all the over night visits I had in your home when we were growing up. Your family holds a very special place in my heart. May the Lord bless and comfort each of you.
Love, Bear Hugs & Angel Kisses,
