Gordon & I are so sorry we missed Elma's funeral as we were in New Jersey for business and medical appointments. We visited Elma on June 7 at William's Home. She talked about her wonderful son Frankie and was praising the Lord repeatedly that he found what he was looking for in Jesus. She told us she wanted to go and meet her wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now Elma is with Him for eternity.
You're all in our prayers,

We have known Elma since the days she worked the dry cleaners on Memorial Avenue and all the years she was at TRBC-what a beautiful sweet Christian lady and now she is with our wonderful Lord.
Love & prayers to her family!

When we moved to Lynchburg some 38 years ago Mrs Walker/Wagner was one of the first sweet ladies at Thomas Road we met.
Such a beautiful lady inside and out.
Everyone was blessed by her presence.

So sorry to see today that your Mother passed away. I cleaned her room at the William's Home. She was the kindest, sweetest little lady you could ever hope to know. We had many talks about Jesus and I know Heaven is sweeter today with her there. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
