To the Wilson Family, I am sorry I could not be there with you. I enjoyed the time I spent with Mrs.Wilson during my summers in Norfolk she was like a mother to me. I enjoyed her creative ways to keep us entertained, her recipe experiments and the cinnamon imperials she always brought Kisha and I. She will always be in my heart.

You will always have a place in our hearts for the times we shared when Sabrina and Kisha was young. Going shopping with you was always a treat
(Williamsburg Pottery). I would always tire out before you. And we did have some talks on the phone. You always tried to guide me,even though you might have gotten tired of me. And for most of all the companionship you gave my Father. For these reasons I will always love you. Kathy, Sabrina and Dave.

To my stepmother and most of all friend, rest now for tomorrow we'll all live together in peace and love. To her children, today is hard having lost my mother, nothing get really ease the pain and sense of lost. However, after you grieve remember Majorie lived and made her mark. Remember all that she was and all that she gave. Remember her in all of her life not just today and this way you will always have her with you as she is part of each of you.

My Dearest Margie,

Thank you for being my mother-in-law and most importantly my friend. I will never forget some of the deep, confident conversations we have had in the past years. You were always such a positive force in my life and I will miss you dearly, however, I am so glad you are at peace with your Savior! You will always be in my heart. Luv you always,

Your daughter-in-law,
Beverly Wilson
