To Papa:
I will never forget the laughs that you gave me. I remember how you used to always steal my nose off of my face and never give it back until I cried. Or how you would play checkers with me at 11 at night when you would rather go to bed. And that time you tried to toss me my Simba toy and he fell in the ditch in the slimy green goo. Your days of taking all of us to the Dollar Tree, walks around Willow Lawn on Sunday mornings, and breakfast at McDonald's. I love you so much, Papa. And I can't wait to see you again, in heaven, where you are so much happier now. Fishing with your buddies, riding your bicycles, and laughing and playing with your sister. I will miss you so much, and I hope there's going to be a long time before we see each other again. But remember...I will always be thinking about you. Life is going to be a little bit harder for a while seeing Nanny without Papa beside her. I love you. Take care up there.

Jimmy, Wife, and Family: I am so sorry to read of the passing of your Father. I think about you all often and miss you very much. You can make it through this. It happens to all of us eventually. I know that doesn't make it any easier. Both of my parents have passed away and being an only child, I miss them very much. My prayers are with you.
With love to your family,
JodY & DEBRA Wilson
