Family, I Had The Pleasure Of Meeting And Getting To Know Wyona. She Sure Loved Her Family Without Any Doubt. And Most Of All, She Loved Our Lord…She Would Tell Me ..” Just Pray About It”. I Will Never Forget The Day, She Gave Me A Scripture For My Grandson To Read At Bedtime When We Had A Scare Of His Heart (11 Yrs). What A Wonderful Person She Is! I Am Going To Miss Her And Our Meals We Would Share When Her Son Would Grill For His Mother Bbq. Please Know She Was Well Loved By Lots. I Pray That Her Family Finds Peace And Love During This Time As You Send Her Home. God Bless You All
