  2. Our dear cous9in Wilma. Both you and mom were always thick as thieves and we never knew what the two of you would get into. You’ve made us laugh, left us with good memories and your crafty talents. We still use the dish towels you made for us,

    Heaven gained a sweet angel. We love you!

Now she is walking with our Lord and savior praising his name. We will see each other again one day. Prayers and love to the family. I know she will be missed and remembered forever!
