_______________ Gladys
and Wilmer were stalwart leaders in the Carlisle BIC church. They were both great people whom I knew growing up as a young
lad and onward into adulthood. Both Wilmer and Gladys had those great smiles and warm hearts. I always respected and cherished
both of them for their strong practice of the Christian faith and family values. They will leave behind a legacy of love and
concern for others. May God be with all the greater Lehman family members during this time of loss and who can rest assured
they are both with our almighty Heavenly Father.
