To God Be The Glory! Praise the Lord, Family of Silvia Wiggins-Willis. I had the pleasure of meeting Silvia at Duncan Elementary School during the time our families resided in Delaney Housing Development. And we continued on our journey as Beckman Junior High, and Velt80 Sisters. Silvia had a beautiful Christian Spirit manifested through her life, good deeds, and that powerful voice she used to serve the Lord! When asked to share her gift with Velt80, it was never a "no" or "cannot". I am so thankful for our sisterhood, and the times we sat looking out her bedroom window sharing tears of joy and pain. Rest on my Christian/Delaney/Beckman/Velt sister until we meet again on the other side. Thank you Jesus.
