ALVIN & JILL, I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
Alvin and Jill, I was shocked to hear of Wilma’s death. We shared many great years as employees at Armco as we were all like family. I am so sorry to not attend her funeral as I cannot climb the steps at the Church. My prayers are with you both and know for certain you will be together again some day. My prayers are with you and know that she was loved by so many people. Prayers. Dorothy Morton
