Lisa, you always light up when you talk about your mom. It is very obvious that she was a very special woman of God. May the Father comfort you and your family and bring forth many great memories.

A very special lady to all of us that lived on Springfield Street in Burton, Mi. I was honored to have grown up living next door to Wilma and her family, and knew when Jack and I got into trouble, I was in trouble with her as well. She was like a second mom in so many ways. I miss those popcorn nights. She is now at home, in the arms of the Lord. God Bless

Sister Wilma was an amazing Christian sister in Christ. Linda, our children and I have known her most of our lives. Linda taught Sunday School with her and I always teased her about her daughter Lisa, for not making spaghetti sauce for our children when she was baby sitting for them; she just would not do the cooking.
Linda & I have enjoyed the Tanner family and we still do, when we see them. May GOD give her the mansion she deserves.
GOD'S blessings to all of the family and may...
