  1. CandleImageHeaven has gained one of the most precious, kind and loving ladies that I know! Villie has always been a wonderful part of our family. She was so giving and helpful to those around her. And, she made the BEST chocolate pie that you have ever placed in your mouth:) I will never forget her love and generosity as she planned and paid for my Bridesmaid’s Luncheon at The Little Gardens! This special day meant the world to me. I will miss her immensely….but I know that she is healed and resting in the sweet arms of Jesus.
    Sending Deepest Sympathy and Love to Sandy, Glenn and Family & Chuck, Shirley and Family
    May God Bless Each of You with His Peace,
