I´m very sorry to hear of Mrs. Willmans passing. I delivered her and Mr. Willmans mail for many years out on Corrington Ave. She was one of the nicest people I met in my years at the post office. Always smiling and offering nice things to say. I´m sure she will be greatly missed by her family and may she rest in peace. Dan
