Guest Book

"Ms.Wilkins" as I knew her, as a young girl, was a role model as a professional business woman. Many don't recall when women in business were few in number. Her engaging smile caused one to remember that every business downturn could be overcome.. She endured personal loss with great dignity. A tremendous role model again from the "greatest generation!" Mary Prater Smith
