To mortal mind it seems Wilma should not have died so soon. She was young, just in the early spring time of life; she had caught much of the glory of morning twilight and early sunrise; and the charm and warmth of these were felt by her friends and school fellows. In Hood River high school her modesty, her goodness and her strength gave her a place in all hearts. At a time when her home folk were carrying a burden of grief for a son and brother the helpfulness and the cheerfulness of Whillma’s life made home brighter and the load lighter. Four her the year was at the spring; the spring at the morning, the morning at seven, and the hillside dew-pearled; and yet she passed on, but her life had its fullness. Her home, her school, the May street community, her church, and the world were better that she lived. Of her it may be said with the depths of meaning, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” The Master said, “Suffer the children to come onto me.” “And her loved ones gave in tears and pain The flowers and they must did love; They knew that they should find them all again In the fields of light above.” -- Contributed.
