Wylodine was like a mother to me. She was a very caring, loving, and kind lady. I enjoyed every minute that I spent with her. She had a way about her to make you feel that everything will be alright. When I think of the word, "mom", I think of Wylodine. I love her and I will miss her.

There was never an in-law who shared the wonderful relationship that Wylodine and I shared . We laughed together and we cried together and we shared many wonderful times. Life will go on but it will never be the same without Wylodine. She will be missed!
