Aunt Wilma was an amazing lady. Her quick wit and the twinkle in her eye made her irresistible. Its no wonder that Uncle Guy & her made a dynamic couple that won the admiration of so many and were treasured by the Pigg family. Rest in peace Aunt Wilma and go to your heavenly reward to join your loved ones gone on before. Lisa, God bless you and strengthen you as you cope with your loss so soon after your Mom. We love you.
