To the Wilford Family,
May God continue to give you the comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Mr. Wilford was our guidance counselor at Baptist Hill High in Hollywood, SC. He was a great man who possessed wisdom and was dedicated to his work. I saw him months ago and he was the same sweet and humble person that I remembered in school. Be blessed and know that God knows best. Baptist Hill High Class of 1998

May it comfort you to know that warm thoughts of sympathy are with you and your family at this time of sorrow.

A wonderful promise to know he is in a better place.
