I am deeply sorry for your loss of Wilma. May you find comfort in the promise recorded for us at isaiah 25:8 where it says “He will swallow up death forever. And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. As you await the fulfillment of that promise, draw close to God in prayer and he will draw close to you and provide you with the strength you need to carry you through the difficult days ahead. All the best wishes for your family at this time, take care of each other.
