LAURA WILCOX

Dear Michael, My name is Charles Vasilakis and I´m sure you remember my brother Harry and I as we were growing up together during the sixties. Your mother and my parents, Tom and Ann, became good friends after your family moved into the house next door to us. We had a tree fort in the huge tree in your backyard, went snow sledding in the mountains when your mother took us and played many board games after Christmas. These were very important times for us especially since you didn´t have...

Every time I read a book of S Michael Wilcox, I think of Laurie. We went to Jerusalem, the Guatemala trip, and attended his weekly institute classes. When we hear songs of `Lillies of the Field´ I can see her sing. When we are in the manger, we all sang songs about His birth. I´m reading the book, `10 Great Souls I Want to Meet in Heaven´ and I read about Michael´s love for her and how she´s meeting these great souls now. I will be happy for his great reunion with her. I love you...

I just went through the picture albums of Tom and our trip to Israel in 1998 with you and Michael. I can hear your voice singing “Consider the Lilies of the Field”. You are everything that was said. Heaven is so much sweeter with you there. But we miss you here.

Dear Micheal,
We miss Laurie very much and think about both of you often! We had such good times traveling with her many many years ago! Laurie was so talented & fun she has definitely left a void in so many people so lives! Michael & family we hope you are doing well and have Merry Christmas

S. Michael Wilcox family: I pray the peace of heaven to be with all of you. Brother Wilcox - my husband passed away 20 months ago and your books and testimony have helped me tremendously. We have loved your classes at education week. This is what we had engraved on Jerry's headstone "There is peace in knowing love goes on forever" All the best to you.

Michael and family,
You probably do not remember us but you were our Bishop when we lived on Hidden Valley Club Dr. Laurie was always so sweet and kind and gentle. We know you will miss her deeply but also know that you all have strong testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ and through the Holy Ghost you will be comforted. May the Lord bless you always.

Brother Wilcox, we just learned of Laurie's passing and are very saddened. We were blessed to meet and get acquainted with you and her on our trip to Greece and Italy last September. Thank you for the Spirit which you brought into our lives through your testimony and teachings. We hope and pray that same Spirit provides great comfort, peace, and understanding to you and your family at this difficult time. Love, Ken and Kareen Winder, Roosevelt, Utah.

Brother Wilcox and family, We are greatly saddened to know of Laurie's death. We were on two of your tours, Egypt/Israel and the Book of Mormon Lands. We loved her sweetness and the kindness she showed to everyone. She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her. She will always remain a wonderful example to all who knew her....Ralph and Charla Francis, Nampa Idaho

Dear Kristen,
I'm so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm sure she was a lovely woman, as you are. Cancer is a tough thing to watch. It is definitely no respecter of persons. I lost my husband to cancer this summer. The gospel brings you comfort and hope, but it is still very difficult. Keep in close contact with your dad. He'll need your love and support. His book on adversity has been the best support for grief that I have...
