Hi Donna & Ed,

Grandma Willie you are missed.  I know our families drifted apart as life took me in directions but I still remember calling you to tell you about my first born Giuseppe and always wanted some day for my kids to meet you.  You will always be in my memories.  May you be with all other lost loved ones including Grandpa Pop.

When no answered  calls were returned I knew something happened. Both Dale and I loved and cherished her as our mother. She was terrific and even through the years and miles passed,she spent many times traveling to Montana for family and special occasions. When I moved on to Arizona we kept in touch and we knew the memories we shared, friendship and love was deep in our hearts.  
Her spirit will always remain with me as her joyfulness and all she shared with me was always uplifting and filled with love. Love never ends.  Prayers for all the family and friends through this time and forever.
                  Love you   "Mom"    Love Donna

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Aunt Wilma was the most wonderful aunt, and a "crafter" before the word was invented.  Our kids' favorites were a huge stuffed doll and a "Weedle on the Needle", along with the book about the Space Needle. My special gift from her was the crocheted Mr. and Mrs. Santa dolls I got as a young girl and are still part of my Christmas decorations.  When we Judd kids were young our favorite time each summer was the week we spent with Aunt Wilma and Uncle Elmer on Lake Sammamish and their homes in Bellevue.  There were always cooking,sewing and knitting lessons as well as trips to downtown Seattle for shopping and special treats.  Aunt Wilma bought me my first Hot Fudge Sunday at Bartell's Drug Store (still my favorite ice cream treat).  I shared with her many times how important she was and how many of her "words of wisdom" I have passed on to granddaughters. I will miss her greatly.

Wilma was my aunt, and she and my uncle lived in the Eastgate/Bellevue area as I was growing up in Cowiche, WA.  Each summer, I would spend a week or so at their house--this was a huge treat for me.  Aunt Wilma took me shopping in Bellevue and she helped me sew clothes for my dolls. We shared many very happy times together. She has always been a special person in my life, and I will miss her.

It was a blessing having you in my life Aunt Willie.. I will miss you dearly. Love Susan Rose

We will miss her greatly. She was a wonderful, loving person, and a great friend
Sam and Jorunn Rose.

Willie was more than a friend to me, she was like my other mother.  I am so grateful for the time I knew her and the lessons that she taught me.  I will always hold her in my heart.

Wilma and I always had a special connectioneven though everyone in my family was close and loving. When I was still lugging around a teddy bear, she sewed a little military outfit for him. After we were both grown and leading separate lives, she and I exchanged long, philosophical letters with each other. She kept these, or copies of them, in a binder that she gave to me a few years ago. I've intended to transcribe them so we'd each have a copy. Our discussions were, as we still were, pretty immature. But after seventy years I treasure the memories they represent.

Aunt Willie was a wonderful part of my life from my earliest days. She cared for me and my sister Cynthia with such love and patience throughout our lives that I can't imagine a world without her. I will miss her so much. It was an honor and privilege to share in her last days. The Lord has special place for her in paradise but I'll always hold her here in my heart.
