  1. One of the most wonderful people it has ever been my good fortune to know. Together with Max and their wider family, Wilma touched my heart and brought warmth and friendship into my own and my family’s life here in the UK for over 30 years. Truly the end of an era but a life fully lived and an inspirational human being who made the best damn biscuits and gravy ever tasted, not to mention a myriad of other culinary delights. Rest in Peace “Grandma Wilma” together with Max once more. Gone but forever loved and fondly remembered ❤️

  2. To Curt and family, it was a true blessing to have the chance to work around your mom at the airport. I’ll miss her smiles and our conversations, and I know others from our airport feel the same way. Its hard to loose a wonderful mother like yours, and I know you all will miss her terribly as I do mine. The peace we find in their passing is the understanding that they are in wonderful place in the presence of our maker. I wish you all well as you gather family, as possible, together to remember the blessing she was to each of you. David Underwood..
