Goodbye my good neighbor. I’ll miss your beautiful red and white geraniums. The draped chair is empty, the one out front where you sat in the evenings chatting with Aurelia. I will miss you. So glad you are at peace.
Dearest Kimberly & Shawn,
I agree that Wilma was truly an incredible Mom.
She was a wonderful Sister, Aunt, Great Aunt, and even Great Great Aunt as well!
She took loving, tireless care of my Mom (Ganava) during her final months, days of life.
She did the same for me during my recovery from major back surgery.
Since I became a Grandmother, she lovingly became the MeMaw (Great Grandma ) that my Mom never had the chance to be, especially your my oldest Grandchild Matthew!
I’ve said to many persons for a long time that if God has ever allowed Angels to walk among us then she certainly was one of his BEST!
I can never express the love, gratitude, and pride that ,everyone in my family has for her and we will always will! Though all of us miss her, I know Heaven is rejoicing to have one of their finest home.
I love you both and want you to remember all of the important lessons she taught you, all of the unconditional love she gave you, and all of the beautiful memories she left you will.
Someone told me years ago after my Dad passed away, “what brings a tear to your eye today will bring a smile to your face tomorrow, truer words were never spoken.
Love & Prayers,
Cousin Gigi Hughes
