God Bless you Auntie Vilma!
You were a very "fiesty" and funny aunt.
Brother Bob was so right on about your "throw". I remember once you were talking to Mom and without saying a word, that slipper came off and like a magnet, connected with Butch's head! Oh my!
You always came to talk to me on my yearly summer visit to Chicago. A lot of good talk on the Adamick/Setinc patio! Thanks!
Be at Peace!
Love and Peace, your nephew, Paul David Adamick.

We all loved you very much and will miss your laugh and sarcasm at all the Adamick parties. You were a great God Mother to me, always allowing me to do my own thing and then correcting me as necessary. I will also always remember your deadly throwing arm, that you used to hit Butchy in the back of his head with your shoe as he would be trying to run away from you down the gang-way of your home. Aunt Vilma, we will always remember you. Bob and Liz Adamick, Scottsdale AZ.

I was very blessed to have known Vilma thru my sister-in-law LeeAnn. Her grandmother was a wonderful person to be around, always smiling and happy. I know we are all better people for having her in our lives. She will be missed dearly by all. Our deepest sympathy to all of her family.
Love always, Kim, Gordon and Family
