Wilma "Wimp" Drews

I will always love July 4th because of her and will always miss having the family together at Aunty's. May she rest in peace, I didn't know how good I had it growing up!

Every time I read a new post here I think "Aunty is going to enjoy hearing this". I know when I used to tell you something about you that I remember from my childhood you would say "Really! You remember that?"Then I realize that I won't be sharing things like these things with you anymore. But I am consoled by the thought that you are with your beloved Gale and Michael and no longer tormented by pain. Thank you for helping me to become a better person. Love you

I worked with Mrs. Wimp for 7 years. I worked for her every other week, then every week and when I noticed she needed help for her well being, I offered her if she wanted someone with her at all times. My daughters and I helped her out and took care of her house and Ceaser. Being with her every day, she shared her wonderful stories and was very welcoming and caring. We learned to love her as our own grandma. Having the honor to be with her on her last days, we couldn't ask for more. Mrs. Wimp will always be apart of us. See you later Mrs. Wimp <3

Well Whimp, You did it, you graduated into the Kingdom and I am happy for you to be out of your pain and limitatations. The old time saying is that this aging process is not for whimps but you did it and now are in your glory. I have many thoughts and memories of our time together and the many subjects we discussed. Always interesting what a couple of us ol' gals can toss around. Ha! I want to tell you that my life has been better because you have shared your beautiful family with me. I enjoyed the times of family gatherings of my extended family and you are one of the special ones,. Thank you, bask in your earned love and peace. Pat Koons

I too thought her name was Annie not Aunty that's where my kids might've gotten it . I also have great memories of Fourth of July at her house as a kid and then later bringing my own kids granny Joe frying chicken and her beautiful kitchen and waiting to see what new recipe she had to share with everybody. I'm so glad we were able to spend our holidays with her I know she missed Gale and Michael deeply she still enjoyed our get together and we enjoyed here she will be missed we love you Annie

We'll miss you "Annie"... thank you for opening up your home with all those wonderful memories we shared; swimming, the pinball machine, biscuits & gravy, & many more!!

Rest in peace with Michael and Gail!!! <3

Wimp, I'm going to miss our long drives every year since Gale died from Grand Terrace to Hemet and back for Christmas, Thanksgiving etc. Sorry we couldn't make it last year because of your back. You always asked me who was going to be there and you were so excited especially to see the little ones dancing and playing. You would talk all the way back to your house about how cute they were, but you were so excited to see Caesar when you got home. I'm going to miss our monthly trips to the casino and then to lunch. And I'll never forget you telling me in the last few months "Have you ever heard anyone ever saying - Oh Boy I get to go to a funeral today?" I would say no, and you would say "me either" But it is going to be our honor to be there to say goodbye. Love Keith

My grandma was very special to me. I remember sitting at the counter in her house while she cooked me breakfast and pool parties. My grandma cared for everyone she loved with everything she had. She has been an inspiration to me. I am happy that she gets to be with dad and grandpa now. I'm sure they are all playing golf up in heaven. It's not goodbye grandma, it's just see you later.

Poor Michael, the lone boy. Family fun.
Mother not in the picture. Love you and miss you Granny, Aunty, Michael and Mother.

We'll miss you just like we miss Gale.

I always thought things would never change when I was young, that my Mom,
Dad ,Grandmother and Aunt would live as long as I did. Growing up and old is not always what you thought it would be. I sure miss the family times.

Good Bye Aunty until we meet in heaven

I'll remember the fun,times sleeping, swimming, having the 4th of July, and talking at your .

I too thought her name was Annie as a kid. She is in every Thanksgiving memory from my childhood!

I remember Aunty always acting so happy to see us and happily opening her home to me on many occasions. It was fun to sit at her counter and talk the day away with her.

I remember being a kid and swimming in their pool, going to the playground across the way and that cool pinball type game they had!! I will also never forget when I found out her name wasn't "Aunty" (which I thought was "Annie" as a kid) lol... Although you will be missed Aunty, I am happy you are in a better place now and have been reunited with Gale and Mike! We love you forever and always ❤ Rest In Paradise
