To the Wilson Family and Friends,
This was very sad news. It brought tears to my eyes and childhood memories came rushing back. Marylou and I were always hanging out and there was never a dull moment in the Wilson house. I still miss all the fun I had with Maureen, "Mrs. Wilson" to me, and "Grammy" too, and now I can only pray for those who are suffering from Mike's loss, or "Mr. Wilson" to me. I am thinking of you all and fondly remembering all the fun times. Marylou, especially for you, you have been a rock and one of the strongest people I know ... my thoughts and prayers are with you. Continue to take comfort in the resurrection hope and find peace in God's assurance that we will be reunited with those we have lost and love so much. ~Mimi
