I am so sorry to read that Aunt Wilda passed away. I know how very special she was to you all especially your mother. Mary Ellen absolutely adored Aunt Wilda. They had a friendship like no other and I know for a fact that they will be having the fun and good times together in heaven as they did here on earth. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep your memories close to your heart.
