Dear Emma Jo
I was so saddened when Dr. Wright announced in church Sunday that Wilton had passed away. However, we rejoice in knowing that he is now with our Lord and Savior and is shouting Hallelujah. I know "Coggie" was there to greet him. You and the children will be in our prayers in the coming days.

I just found out about Wilton's death. I am so sorry to hear of his passing he was a great friend to me and quite a character. I have a lot of fond memories of Wilton and the many lengthy talks we had. He made me laugh to tears. If heaven is the legacy and love you leave behind he will have quite a place up there. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. I will never forget Wilton Watkins he was one of a kind.
