It was sad to hear of your fathers passing. I knew him well as did my family,my father was his friend and he brought love and joy to all of us. My father passed three yrs ago and I still have the picture he made for my mom and him. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Tom, my thoughts are with you and your family with the loss of your Father.

The ability to make people laugh is a beautiful gift. Although there"is a time to weep and a time to laugh" who does not prefer to laugh ? (Ecclesiastes 3:4) Sad to say,we live in a world that primarily gives us reason to weep.That's why your Dad will be sorely missed !

Sorry to hear about Mr.Wilson's passing, He gave alot of his talent and kindness to the world, and because of him doing so he will live on in the memories and hearts of all who knew and loved him,But especially He will live on through his talent of cartoon sharing of Ziggy :0) , Strawberry Shortcake and the lovable carebears, May God Bless Your family during these trying times.Rest In Peace Mr. Wilson

thanks for all the warm smiles!
