Wilma was a person whom I will never forget, even though we didn't know each other for very long. Her direct take-charge mannerisms are something I will always remember. Now she is undoubtedly in heaven, baking pumpkin loaves for all the other angels. I have never met a better person. Rest in peace, my friend.

Wilma attended my Sunday School class at Triad Baptist Church in Kernersville, NC before she got sick. She was loved by all the members of our class and will be missed. Our heart goes out to her family.
