Tim and Justis,
Please accept or heartfelt condolences. You both were her world . Vilma was a wonderful person . She was beautiful inside and out. I will miss my cousin and will cherish the memories we had working and spending time together . I will miss her great laugh that once you heard it you are laughing right along with her. She was selfless and always took time to read the room and help those in need. Thank you Vilma for making me feel special . I will miss you . Heaven has gained an angel.
