Sorry to hear of Wilma’s death. I know her family will miss her but such a blessing to know she is in heaven with Jesus.

I’d like to express my deepest sympathy to the family. The Bible gives us much comfort during times like these. Acts 24:15 says, “There is going to be a resurrection.” God is the Creator of life, and He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory.
