Dear Shari and Barry,
While I did not know you Dad really well personally, I have some very fond memories: the first time I met him was when Shari invited me to go with her, her dad and mom to Tony's--what fun we had! And it has always been very clear to me that your dad loved his family very deeply. I remember his joy for life and his sweet smile. I send not only my condolences, but also my prayers and loving thoughts as you go through this time of grief. I also know that your faith will sustain you along with the wonderful memories.

Dear Shari and Barry, so sorry to hear of cousin Wilkes' death. The Gilbert family will remember him very fondly, along with your mother Mary K. My father Rev. Gordon A. Gilbert sends his love and condolences. Your parents had a special place in the heart of my mom (Mary K.'s cousin Jean Burks). I'll always remember staying with your family in the early 1970s, and Mary K. and Shari's trip here to Florence - only wish Wilkes could have come, too! I know how much you're going to miss your dad now - he was a fine man. Lots of love from all of us and from my sister Laurie, too! Johnny, Claudia, Amanda Jean, Marilyn

To Shari and Barry: Please accept my warmest condolences in the passing of your Dad. Wilkes and Kay were always so kind to Terry and my family when we would visit your home. Like my own Dad, I will always remember Wilkes and his brother Bob as those of the Greatest Generation. Sadly, they are all passing. Deep regards;

Shari and Family,
My husband and I both worked with Wilkes on the Harrier Program at MCAIR. He was great to work with, always had a smile on his face and was
very kind to everyone. We're very sorry for your loss.

I celebrate your dad's life as special, unique and loving. Your memories of your dad and your mom are so precious. Thank you for sharing so many of them with me. You are blessed to have had such special and loving parents. I'm sure they are now partying together in eternal cosmic love. And I know they will be with you and Barry and your whole family as you all continue to travel your own life journeys.

Hi Shari,
Remember me? I cleaned your Mom and Dad's home while building my massage therapy business. I ALWAYS enjoyed cleaning their home because they talked with me the whole time. They made me feel so welcome and so much like a friend. Wilkes had an awesome sense of humor!! I think about your parents a lot, and I'm sorry to say I haven't kept in touch as much as I would have liked to. I am thinking of you and your family at this sad time.
