I knew the lord was calling as I looked upon your face,
It felt like you were traveling to a very special place,
You left peaceful; without suffering, without fear
I knew your journey started when I whispered in your ear,
“I will miss you my dear mother; yet this road will lead you home,
“It’s Ok for you to leave me, it’s o...k, it’s time to go,
Take the hands of those that love you; Let them help you on this day,
Please be waiting when I get home, in your very special way”.

There are so many memories its hard to remember just one,Aunt Wilda was my MOM,Irma gav birth to my sister Ellen & me but Aunt Wilda in her loving way showed me how to wash clothes in that old wringer washer,bake blackberry dumplings from berries we picked where the Jr HS now stands.Taught me how to be a wife,mother,sister cousin friend despite outstanding odds against her.Because of her stamina & Grandmas bloodline,I became the person I am toda.At that time we were still coloreds,eventually became negroes but she never complained that her husband worked from sundown to sun up for the children in his household ,not just his own, to have comforts of everyday living.We never lived too far away but when Mom came after work to take us home we never wanted to leave.I remember huge pots of blue crabs cookin on the stove that would crawl out the pot whenever they could to the delight of us children.My children say I became like her, always having a houseful of children, but knowing her in childhood like i did,they would understand no one comes close to my Aunt Wilda.Rest in peace with Momma,Grandma Alberta,Phyllis,Uncle Bill & Uncle Jr.& Daddy Buddy. I love You & will see you again when GOD calls me to join all of you in Heaven.

When we lose a loved one in death, we may become overwhelmed by grief. The Bible tells us that Jesus wept when his dear friend Lazarus died. Yet, just minutes later, Jesus performed an astounding miracle - he raised Lazarus back to life. (John 11:32-44) In so doing, he gave all mankind solid grounds for faith in the amazing promise ha had made earlier in his ministry at John 5:28,29. May the precious hope of a resurrection to life on a restored paradise earth comfort all of you in the loss of your Mom.
My sincere condolences.

the memory becomes a treasure"
To my Family I love you and I hold you in prayer. Sadness will come but so will smiles when you remember all of the great memories that were shared. God has received a new Angel "Mama Wilda" is her name and she will forever watch over all she loves.
On behalf of my father Arlington Brewster... Family we Love You!

Going to Amityville as a child is a blur, a septic tank, maybe a green stove and a bread box..I remember watching I Love Lucy sitting on her bed that had the blanket with the white balls on it.. I am grateful that I had my grandmother in my home growing up Having your grandmother in your house, you get to know her well, I knew what mama loved, baked clams, chocolate éclairs, slurpees from 7-11, Oprah (pretty much anything on channel 7) hard candies and a good Sunday evening "moving picture" (on channel 7). I knew what she hated, lightening and the dogs that attracted it (Mikey) and taking pictures. Mama gave me a lot, my first (and last) spam sandwich, tang (we stole that)and a lifetime of stories and memories about Amityville, the five and dime, Colridge (spelling?) Ave and Brewster Lane. She told me about putting pins in grenades on an assembly line, a man with a pumpkin for a head (you had to be there), a princess next door and the naked woman who came running into the house. I would beg her; "mama juuuusst let me do your hair" and she would eventually let me, I would dye it (natural black) (Clairol) and she would tell me these stories over and over...
My heart is sad when I think of these memories but I am so grateful that I have so many to cherish.

God of mercy, look kindly on my mother!
May you give Mama the fullness of your peace and joy. We give thanks for the long life of Mama, now caught up in your eternal love. We make our prayer in the Name of Jesus.
God, I pray for our mother:
• who cared for us when we were helpless
• who comforted us when we were hurt
• whose love and care we often took for granted.
Today, I pray for those who are grieving the loss of Mama. Keep our family united with you and with each other, so that we can be and become all that she wanted us to be.
Amen
Your humble servant,
Sandi Brewster-walker

Dear Hildy & family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I read your mom's obituary; it sounds like she had a very full life surrounded by a bunch of people who love her. She is probably smiling down on you and your entire family right now.
With love & sympathy,
Janice & family

Aunt Wilda, thank you for the legacy of family love, the Native American pride and laughter that we shared within the Devine-Brewster clan. We know that you are at peace and that there's a joyous reunion of you and our ancestors. We celebrate your life and know that we will see you again.
Love you.

The Brewster family was the first family I met when I movied to amityville in 1953. Your mother treated me like part of the family. I have very fond memories at your house. Your mother would make meat balls & spaghetti every week. Your mom would make sure I ate too. Your loss is my loss too! Mom's life is not ended but merely changed, an eternal dweling place awaits her in heaven.

On behalf of my mother, Benzener "Bennie" Henry,and I, Barbara, we wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Bennie was a classmate of Wilda's in high school. They became the best of friends and continued contact with each other throughout all these years. Wilda will be sorely missed. May she rest in peace.

We join with you and family and those whose lives were enriched as a result of your mother's years, values and wisdom which through you resulted in reconciling our branch of the Scurlock family. While we join with you in celebration of her life, it is only with a regret that we did not personally meet her in person. We mourn her passing.

Soar through the air
let your spirit fly free,
and with the catch of an angel.
You are lifted up with grace
and taken high above,
you are showered with peace and protection
but most of all showered with love.
For now you have no anger
no tears, fear or pain,
these feelings you held are released
and now happiness is all you will gain.
So take their hands of freedom
your new life is not to fear & R.I.P GOD BLESS.

I am sorry to hear about the passing. I have vivid memories of Ms. Brewster watching Rodiah, Jennifer, and put on shows while she would always tell us to be careful. She will always be remembered.
