Dear Craig and Sharon and the Donaldson family,
It was with much sadness that I learned of the death of Wilma. She was one of God's faithful servants and has "run the race which He set before her ". What a joy to know that she is now with Him in a place which He has prepared for her and she will now be at peace, but I also know that she will be very much missed from your family circle, and by her many friends and I send my deepest sympathy to you all. You are very much in my thoughts as you grieve your loss of a loving and devoted mother, mother-in-law, and grandma. Kindest regards
