So sad to hear about Wilma, we loved visiting her as Jehovah's Witnesses when we lived in Palmerston North, she was always so loving and kind, she loved showing us her garden and we continued to keep in touch when we moved to Auckland via email. I thought of her often and she always told beautiful stories of her family who she loved so dearly. Thinking of you all.
