I remember Wilma from school. I thought she was the prettiest of all. We were born the same year, l
1942, but I came two months prior to her birth. I was shocked to find out that she had left us. She was such a gem. She never lost her beauty and I am looking forward to seeing her in heaven. The reason for this photo, she was a tiger of a lady.
Thanks for the opportunity to send this note.
