So, This note is "In Memory Of" and "In Honor Of" Your mother, her mother, and ALL of the other Lance men and women (that we know of) that came before us, and made it possible for us to have what we have here today. Sincerely, Dennis Max Lance

    Tom, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family...you do not know me but I worked with your mother at Carolina Roses way back in the early 80's...we had some wonderful times together there and when I would visit with her and your dad at their home. I just want you to know I think Wylma was an amazing woman...and will always be in my memories. God Bless You.

    Dear family, Mrs. Wylma was a very sweet lady who was always postive and happy with life every time I saw her. She was very special to our family. We are celebrating the fact that she and Carl are rejoicing in Heaven today, I hope and pray you find comfort in this fact.
