We were so sorry to hear about the death of Wilm. We know that she was taken care of in a wonderful way, with compassion and patience. Joe and I have shared many good times with Wilm and Sharon. We are hoping that the good memories will be a comfort to all the family while we grieve this loss. Please know that we’re keeping you and the rest of our family in our thoughts and prayers.
Elaine and Joe Rosario
