Tony, we are so sorry for the loss of your mom. Wilma was such a kind friendly hostess putting up with her PA racing fans. I only had the pleasure of her company 3 times in all the years she took care of my family for the races but I know my dad, Syl, could not have thought more highly of her. She was always caring towards my dad, brothers, nephews and my husband Gene, and son David. She will be sorely missed by our families. You had a terrific mom and she in turn raised a terrific son. Hugs and prayers at your time of sorrow. Love

My husband (Walter) and I are so very sorry for the family of Wilma Jean. I hadn't seen her in too many years, but I remember her so well for her wonderful personality and sense of humor. Wilma Jean was my Confirmation sponsor at Holy Cross Catholic School/Church back in the mid 50's. It was always a hoot when she got together with my sister, Priscilla. They would keep you in stitches. She is now enjoying her heavenly reward and resting with our Savior awaiting our arrival.
