Danny, Peggy, and Betty
My thoughts are with you all. The years have flown by since our school days and living a block away from each other. Your mother was so strong and dedicated to her family. May you also find that strength at this time.

My sincere condolences to the family of Wilma! The Woodard family and mine were next door neighbors on the Little Farm in the Lollie Community in the 1930's. They were not only good neighbors but, good friends. Wilma Ruth and I were close to each other in age and had some good times together in the late 1930's. Even though we had not seen each other in many years we did speak by phone some in recent years. May God Bless you all.

Dear Sweet Family,
Heaven has gained the sweetest little soul! What a precious treasure she was to everyone who knew her. Her deep love for her family was beyond measure. Her sweet gentle nature made her such a blessing to be around. She will be missed by us but now that she is with her Lord and reunited with her "pal", we know she is experiencing pure joy. We love you all and will be praying for you in the days ahead.

What a wonderful person Aunt Wilma was. I'll never forget her hugs. She cared deeply for her family and made everyone feel special. She raised an incredible family that I'm proud to say will forever have a special place in my heart. My prayers are with Ron, Dan and all of the Rolett family. May Gods everlasting peace be with you.
