Not sure what to say?

I am so grateful to have met Kent and other family members when they would come and visit Wilson. WHAT an Awesome family--It was a pleasure being one of his many nurses. My prayers go out to this wonderful family. Love you Wilson.

I was reviewing my old Rotary files from when I was District Governor and made my first visit to the Provo Rotary Club. There was a very nice letter from Wilson, congratulating me on a fine talk at the club and wishing me well in my service as District Governor. I don't recall receiving a letter like that from one that I had not previously known. So I was amazed to see the obituary in the paper the next day. That is just one of our Lord's Tender Mercies to bless me with that...

It's been a long time since the Haineses lived a block away in Provo. I have tender memories of and admiration for Brother Sorensen, Sister Sorensen, Kory, Kent, and Kim who were great role models and home teaching associates in my teenage years - warm, kind, and loving people through and through! Thanks to all of you! Who would have thought I'd find myself in his beloved field of technical education years later? President Sorensen, we'll carry on your legacy of love and service to the one.

I had the privilege of knowing Bro. Sorensen for many years. I always looked forward to visiting with him when he came to the Fieldhouse to walk. It was years before I knew what amazing things he had accomplished - I just knew him as a wonderful person.

My best to the family. I know the Savior welcomed him with open arms.

In May 1943, Wilson's younger brother (Dale) and I
graduated from Draper Junior High School. We both had
dates to go to the graduation dance. Wilson allowed his
younger brother Dale to use his new, shiny Plymouth
convertible. Both Dale and I were too young to have
driver's licenses, but Wilson let us use his new car to
transport our dates. I think that was my first date, and
Wilson's generosity made it the greatest. That was one
of the...

We love you and will miss you so much grandpa. What an example of person you have been to so many. If only we can live up to be half of what you were than that means we are doing okay. We will miss your wonderful sense of humor, your irreplaceable wisdom, your selflesness of service and most of all your example of how the Savior would have us live our lives. We love you.
Your grandaughter Rebecca Kimball.

My heart is swollen with sadness, as I will miss a wonderful man. Wilson has touched my life in a way that I cannot adequately describe. As a student; I have been honored to have befriended him; and feel his sweet spirit; as his indescribable love would eminate towards me as we would visit. The driving force that inspired Wilson to create such a marvelous institution was the miracle of Love and it has touched my life in countless ways. Growing up I had phsychiatrists tell my parents that I...
