Aunt Wilma...

My dear Aunt Wilma passed away on Saturday. Many of us were lucky enough to see her before she passed. Several of us were with her when she passed on as well... I have so many wonderful memories of Aunt Wilma - family get togethers and such but my favorite memories that I treasure of those of when I was just a teenager and it was just her and I... either house sitting and playing board games or shopping. Taking my boys to her house when they were just 'wee - ones' for trick-or-treating. She loved all of her niece and nephews and never missed the opportunity to tell us all that we needed to come and visit her more than any of us did.

Aunt Wilma was the oldest of 5 children.... she was also the first one to pass on. This will be hard on her 2 brothers and 2 sisters as well as on her only son.

I have pulled together some pics that I have of Aunt Wilma to share with my family....
