Doug and Wilma were always a joy to visit with and two of my most favorite customers. Their love for each other was truly something wonderful to witness- after Wilma's passing, Doug came to Laramie and was still carrying her flower tote bag with important papers. I am saddened by their passing, but comforted in the hope they are laughing together once again. Our visits will be fond memories I'll cherish.
