    I have many good memories of shopping at the Salvation Army Store and working with Penny. God bless each and everyone at this sad time.

    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.

    I am so very sorry to learn of your mothers passsing. Thinking back on how she treated everyone when they came into the Salvation Army Store put a smile in my heart. She was always so carring and took time to help the customers in whatever way she could. She always greeted me with a smile and helped to make my family welcome to Fremont.
    May she rest in peace and be reunited with her heavenly family.
    God be with you all now and always.
