"To the family, I am so sad to learn about Wilma's passing. She was a fine lady and a special friend to my mother, Tracy Phillips. I know she is in Heaven worshiping the Lord and visiting with many who were waiting for her there. May the Lord comfort you all knowing that you will see your loved one again in Heaven. Sincerely, Linda Phillips Finch

"Our deepest and sincerest condolences to the family. Words alone can not ease the pain when grieving the loss of a love one. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3-4 states, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away". May God give you and your family comfort in your loving memories and in His promise that soon we will never experience losing our loved ones in death and we will be able to see them again once they resurrected as per John 5:28-29. May these words give you a new hope, with deepest sympathy and warmth of heart.
