Deb
I am very sorry for loss of your Mom. And also sorry that I will be unable to make the viewing as I have to work at that time. I hope that time will heal your broken heart and remember all the good times that you had with your mom.
Love
Jim
Dear Debbie and Family,
Sending sincere sympathy to you and all Wilma’s loved ones. Wilma was a dear friend, as we spent many good times in my beauty shop discussing Duke men’s basketball as we were devout fans. We also enjoyed #24 Jeff Gordon in auto racing. It was a highlight for both of us to met Jeff in person at one of the races. I know Wilma is now in a peaceful place and I will treasure our good memories. Charley, my Mom Ida (94 years old) and I are in Okeechobee, Florida for the winter. Blooming Valley looks good in the spring. Blessings, Bonnie Zilhaver
