My fondest memories of Grandma are of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with the entire family crammed in her little house on Manchester. There was barely room to walk, but no one minded. We had great food, great company, and Grandma's beautiful smile lighting up her face! All she ever wanted was a big family, and she got it.

We have been blessed to have such a strong, loving matriarch such as her. She truly is the glue that binds this family together, and we will all miss her. I will hold her stories and the memories of her close in my heart for all time.

Wilma was a wonderful lady that holds a special place in my heart. It truly saddens me to think she is gone. My prayers are with all of you during this time. I can only find peace knowing that she will be in a better place now than us.
We all put her through the test and she always passed with flying colors. She will always be loved by many of us. She was a mom to many people and changed our lives forever I am so glad I had the opportunity to be a part of her life.
