Rest in love sweet lady!
It was a joy and a pleasure to have Mrs. Herrington as my patient. I often bragged on her being my oldest patient. I was honored to serve her.
My sincere condolences to Dean Talley and family. While I never met Ms. Wilma, I often heard stories about her life from Dean and Amanda. I'm certain she led a full life, now time to rest.
I will treasure all my memories of Aunt Wilma. Love you all â¤ï¸
What an amazing life! All the things your eyes have seen. We love you grandma!
Much love and prayers to Ms Wilma’s family…
