"I am so sad at the loss of Wilma. My mother, Eda (Wobken) Meyer and Uncle Bill were brother and sister and we spent many happy times with our families visiting back and forth. When I was a little girl Wilma would comb and fix my hair. My brothers, Leonard and Kenneth played with Wilma and Ila Jean, pretending that we were cowboys and Indians, or cops and robbers. That was when they lived on "Brickyard Hill." Wilma was always so kind to me, as I was much younger than the rest of the cousins. These were many happy times. Wilma and I talked on the phone and in a few visits since we moved to Fremont and I was saddened when she told me that she had cancer. You children were blessed to have had such a wonderful mother. May you find peace in many happy memories and may God be with you now and always."
