Wilma Lou kept in touch with me over the last 40+ years even though we hadn't seen each other since I was a young man. She was always so sincere and friendly just like her Mom and Dad were. So sorry for your family's loss. She was a special woman. [email protected]

My heartfelt love to Wilma's family. I have grown to care and respect Wilma over the past few years as I would converse with her several times a week at the various places she was living. I grew to know a very sweet and gentle woman. She will be missed by all those who knew her.
