There will definitely be an empty chair at family gatherings now. An era has ended. Aunt Wilma is home with her parents and siblings now. Hope she gives my mom a hug and kiss from me. Miss them all so much.

Aunt Wilma,
I thank God for the six decades you were in my life. Your love and loyalty have been constant, and for that, I thank you.
This is more than the loss of you, my beloved aunt, but the end of an era. Along with you, Grandma Arnett, Mary Belle, my Mom, and Kat, you were the women who shaped my life. I feel certain that you're together again, still watching over us. Thank you, also, for the love you've given my kids and grandkids - who will surely miss their Candy Grandma. I love you.

Uncle Ed, David & Family,
I was so sorry to hear we lost Aunt Wilma. I have many fond memories of times spent with her. Her energy and talent amazed me as a child. I remember bragging about her to all of my friends about my cool Aunt Wilma that bowled, played tennis, golfed, could sew and make anything under the sun, and could still do my hair! What an inspiration she was to me as a young girl. To this day, I have never met a more accomplished woman.

Riley, the girls and I send our love and prayers to you all during this time. We were so blessed to have her in our family.

Dear Aunt Wilma (Grandma), I love you so so so much, you mean the world to me, you are so very special to me. When people would ask about my grandma and grandpa my thoughts would always go to you and Uncle Ed. Thank you for all the love and support you have always given me, its so painful not knowing that I will see you again, but I know I will when I get to heaven. I love you so much, and until we meet again.

Aunt Wilma,
you know how much I love you and what you mean to me. Without you and Uncle Ed in my life, I would not have made it this far. You have given me the encouragement and the loving supprot that a mother would give and I have always thought of you in that way.

You will be remembered for your generosity and your care giving. There is not one family member who has not benefited from your benevolence, with visits to the sick, food for the hungry masses, and financial support when needed. You have served us all and we will all should remember this and "pay it forward".

You have been my Aunt, Mother, Friend, Mentor and comforter and the hole in my heart will not be filled until we meet again in Heaven.

With deepest love
Kathy, Paul and Beth
