Blair,I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Just yesterday, I was thinking about the trip to New Orleans we took with your parents and school friends from WI. She always made time and was always willing to lend an ear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thomas
My sincere condolence to the entire family.I have known Wilma for a number of years through Beta Sigma Phi. She was a lovely, wonderful lady and a great sorority sister. She will be greatly missed.I am thy sister in Beta Sigma Phi, Xi Beta Delta Chapter.
Wilma and I had alot of good times playing scrabble and solving the problems of the world. She never wanted much, but was always ready to give anything for a friend. We will miss her.
