  2. Porter and all the family,

    I am so sorry to hear of Wylma’s passing. She was certainly a precious lady. I am so glad I come to know both of you and some of her family. I grew up a few blocks from Porter and Wylma and was privileged to be in their home several times. I moved away from Asheville three years ago but always received a Christmas card from them.

    I remember the times we met after church on Sundays for lunch at Shoney’s and other places along with my sister and her husband and our dad. I enjoyed that so much.

    Porter, you will never know how much I appreciate you and Wylma coming to Ann’s funeral in 2006. That meant a lot to me and the family. I haven’t seen Wylma since and I won’t forget her.

    She will certainly be missed, just know you will see her again one day.

    I apologize that I will not be able to come to the funeral, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

  3. Bethany and I was truly blessed by God joining us together, even though it was a difficult time for your family. We both feel in love with your family and will never forget you all that we met. God bless you all and you are in our prayers.

    Jessie and I wish to extend to all of you our heartfelt sympathy in the passing of Wylma.

    Pleae know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers and that God will grant you the peace that only He can give in days like these.

  6. Porter,
    When the one you love has shared your life for many happy years, has empathized and understood through sad or happy tears, the loss of Wylma must seem more than you can bear, and we who love you want you to know we care. Joe and Milli

  7. Porter,
    Mike and I enjoyed getting to know both of you at the Arden Presbyterian S.U.P.E.R. Saints luncheons. Wylma will certainly be missed. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

  8. Uncle Porter and Family, On Monday morning when God looked over from his throne and said ‘Son go get my child Wylma’ he was ready for her to come home.He wanted no more pain and suffering for her in this earthly life. There will be a void in your lives.There will be days when you will turn and think you heard her call out your name.And days when you feel so lonely without her. But just cling to that ole rugged cross and his amazing grace. And he will comfort you. And I believe if she could send us a telegram from Heaven today it would read something like this. I’ve arrived safely, I’m having a great time and I sure wish you were here. Let’s live so that we can see her again. Much love to each of you.

    Elaine Sluder

  11. Dear Porter,
    We’ll always remember Wylma for being such a cut-up and for her sweet smiles. I still have the blanket she gave us as a Wedding present 26 yrs. ago. My daughter uses it on her bed every night. May the Lord give you peace and comfort as only He can! Please know the friends are praying for you.
