To the Thornton family.

I was so very saddened to learn that my dear friend Wilma had passed away.

I was honored to have worked with Wilma and have Her train me when I first started to work at U.K.

Wilma and I became close friends. There are many things that I appreciate about Wilma, but one of the things that I appreciated and liked very much was Her honesty and staight forwardness.

To each of Her family I offer my heart felt sympathy. I know each of you know what a wonderful lady She is.

Family is what mattered most to Wilma.

I am blessed to have had Her as my dear friend.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers.


Sincerely
Roland Taylor
