Brian,
Sorry to read of your Mother's death. Had been kept somewhat updated on how she was doing via one of her clogging friends with whom I walk early in the a.m. at Park Circle. I will always remember her for the wonderful way in which she tended to and cared for Ansel Myers. She was a wonderful friend and I know you are proud she was your Mom.

Hope you remember me. It has been many years since I was married to John Dorazio and lived on Van Buren and we were all friends, your mother, dad, Ansel and myself.

Brian, I am sorry that I am unable to attend your mom's memorial service due to injuries I received in a recent auto accident. May the Lord be your refuge and strength. Many fond memories cross my mind, especially when she and I went to Hawaii in 1991. She had a hat made from palmetto fronds. We also shared many trips together as Sunshine Trekkers. She also spoke lovingly of you and her little doggy. Margie Elrod, Goose Creek

Ms. Wilma was a longtime friend of my grandparents, Henry and Glenna Smalley, who were also called home to be with the Lord. They lived next door to her on Eleanor Dr. many years ago. Memories of her clogging will stay forever in my memory. My heart goes out to her family. She was a wonderful, outgoing lady.
