George and I extend our deepest sympathy.
It is not an easy or quick process of healing when loosing a parent or grandparent. We will miss seeing your Dad at our family gatherings. He was a "quiet force" in attendance. So when he spoke you listened intently whether it was serious or a joke. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. With Love and Sympathy, Sherron, George, Rebecca, Andrew, and Korynn

My sympathy to the family. Jerome Wilson was always a very faithful worshiper during my years as pastor in St. John's and I deeply appreciated the entire Wilson family. He is remembered with appreciation by me, as his former pastor. Herman A. Hartmann
