I am so very thankful I got to know Ms. Wilson! She is one classy lady. I will always remember her grace when she had every right to be less than...
How lucky were all of you to have such a great mom.
Remembering the good memories will always keep a smile on your faces and I'm sure that's what she would have wanted.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you along with fond memories.
