To the Wilson family - May God comfort you today and give you a special awareness of His presence in the days to come. I read from a family member that Tom had settled his salvation with the Lord. Let that comfort you, knowing that absent from the body is present with the Lord. For Christians we have that peace that we will be reunited one day and it will be for eternity.

The best gift in life we are given is "eternal life" as long as we have Jesus as our savior! I know I can say this to you!
Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean we will miss you
Until we meet again!
I love you Uncle Tom and you will be missed by many! I also feel as God took your hand and as you entered through the Gates of Heaven the first family you saw was your mom , dad & daughter and then all the others waiting to welcome you home! What a great welcome you had! I will see you again Uncle Tom along with all the others that have gone on before me! Thank you for all the great memories you leave behind! Forever Loved----Forever in our hearts!
