I am so sorry for you loss. I did not know Wilma very well, but felt that I did because of my Dad. He spoke fondly of Wilma and her entire family. My prayers are with her and all of you. God Bless.

To the Pettey Family: I am sorry to hear about Wilma's death. It is never easy to deal with the death of a love one no matter the circumstances. May God provide you with comfort as you grieve (2 Corinthians 1:3).
