To the family of Wilma Parrish Stokes.
We express our heartfelt condolences on the homegoing of our beloved friend, Wilma. As you know, we considered her to be family, as opposed to merely a friend. She always was a lovable and caring person who was a joy to be around. We truly will miss her, but always will treasure her fond memories. We're so grateful that she was a vital part of our lives. If we can be of help to you in the future, please feel free to call on us. We wish you all the best and love.
