To my Friends, the Bohlken family,
Roy, I am so sorry for your loss. Wilma was like a second grandma to me growing up and I will never forget her or the memories that I have of her. May you be comforted by the thought that death is it's own form of healing. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Paul and family,
We were greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Wilma. We were both thinking of her just recently and was wondering how she was doing. We sure enjoyed seeing both of you when we would get to Wichita.

Our sympathies to you all. Wilma will be greatly missed.

Dear Brenda and Cindy, I am not sure if you remember me. I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I remember her from over 30 years ago when I would come over to your house after school or during the summer. She had such a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed spending time with her. May God bless you and your family during this time. I will keep you in my prayers.
