Revels family, I only had the opportunity of meeting and crossing paths with your beloved a few times but it was such a pleasure to make her acquaintance. Seeing and reading her post on fb she always had the most motivating, kind, encouraging and uplifting things to say to everyone. I felt drawn to her. Surely she will be missed beyond measure. Take comfort in knowing that is resting safely in the lords arms now. Continued prayers in the days, weeks, and years ahead. Gob bless you all.

Jada and Mel, I met you guys a while back but I got to know Ms Wilma more when she started attending The Elevation. She befriended me and would always send beautiful encouragements. It took me by surprise when she passed. Knowing your mom it didn't take her by surprise because she knows our Lord. May she rest peacefully. I love you guys. Ms Wilma always ended her conversation or visits with I LOVE YOU

My deepest condolences to the DUNLAP & REVELS FAMILY !
Hearts may be heavy , eyes full of water , many minds wondering!
Through this time of grievances & much sorrow, please look toward the hills of heaven knowing that our Father In Heaven hasn't called home our beloved Wilma to hurt any one of her love ones , family nor friends !
God chose her before she was born her vacation was up as He (God) prepared her resting place , surely to goodness we all shall meet again at that time some will stay & some will not , it's up to each individual if they choose to celebrate INTERNAL LIFE WITH GOD & THOSE WHO EARNED THWIR STAY !
Wilma will be missed , always remembered , and surely love !
God Bless you all may Heaven Smile Upon you , much love from me Peaches too you all !
