Yesterday
It always seems that someone's death makes us realize that we really do need to reach out more. I never imagined it would be Wilma's death that would make me realize that this time. At her funeral yesterday, I was told that she did have a temper although I never saw it. How can someone NOT have a temper with six siblings? The Wilma I saw always had a smile that could light up a room. She was hilarious and always had something to say that entertained those around her. Her birth was so very bittersweet and her death was a shock to everyone. Way too young. Rest well, Wilma. You're already missed by so many people. See you on the other side of the rainbow bridge. To her family, I offer my most sincere condolences.
