Grandma you have always been there for me and I will cherish that forever... I will forever be your little Heather...You mean so much to our family and I will love you always..May you Rest In Peace with Grandpa and Dad🙏❤️

In the short time that I got to know Wilma, aka Mama, it was a pleasure being with her and Cheryl, helping take caring of her and being there for her. She will be truly missed and I will always carry her love in my heart, she was a very loving and sincere person. Mama had heart of gold and she is at peace now.

Love, 
Your Buddy

Mama,

I will miss you deeply! There are so many things around the apartment that remind me of you. The way I accept it is that I know that God needed another angel and I know you are happy up in heaven with Daddy and Jerry and all of the other family.

I love you dearly,
Your loving daughter, Cheryl

Richly Blessed that is how I feel about having an amazing mother in law like you!  You touched many lives and there was so much kindness in your heart!  You showed what a GREAT human being was all about!  Your grandchildren were all so blessed & lucky to be able to spent a lot of time with their grandparents. They learned lessons about strong family values, true love & a beautiful life.  It was simple and real life that our children were around to see & experience that totally awesome environment!  Remember Wilma , my beautiful friend …. goodbyes are not forever, are not the end; it simply means.. I’ll miss you until we meet again!  ♥️ Love  Pat Johnson

I was so blessed to have known you Wilma. You were such a warm hearted caring person. I will truly miss you.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of Wilma. May God's loving kindness bring peace and comfort during this sad and difficult time. 
Psalms 29:11

We are saddened by your loss however, we celebrate the life of Wilma. We know that she is watching down from heaven cheering us on to complete our Christian race, so when it is your time you can join her and your other love ones in heaven. God Bless you Wilma you were surely a woman of God! You were nothing but a blessing to everyone that met you. Our family loved you and Dan dearly! 🙏🏻💕

We did not get a chance to really know Wilma. As new pastors to the church she was a member of for many years, we get to hear many great things. We know she was loved and we know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Wilma's family and friends have been blessed by God with great memories and an example, in Wilma, of what it looks like to live life to the full.

I was so thankful to have my grandparents in my life growing up.  Grandma was known for her cooking and you would think we were serving an army during the holidays with all of the food she made.  Her pecan pie was my absolute favorite but her fried okra was a close second.  My grandparents were the greatest role models, not only teaching us how to treat people but how to treat each other.  We will miss you dearly, but I know in my heart that Grandpa and Dad are so happy to see you again.  

Love you always, 
Audrey and Greg

Grandma will always hold a special place in my heart. We shared so many priceless memories at her and grandpa's house throughout the years. She was by far the gentlest, warm-hearted woman and the love that her and grandpa shared was that out of a fairytale. Grandma has always been an angel, she just grew her wings. 

We love you.

On November 1985 I had my first date with your son Jerry on our way home  he insisted that I meet his parents and I refused said it was to late but he went anyway his parents were still up and we talked until  @:00 in the morning and that was the beginning of our relationship . When my Mom passed she told me that she would be my mom and to call her that and that is why I do that  Rest in Peace Love Pat
