Wilbers Family,
How blessed you must feel that the Patriarch of your family is now at peace, and that he lived such a full and wonderful life. Our thoughts are with all of you in your sorrow. God gives those left behind memories to ease the pain and eventually smiles will wipe away the tears. God Bless
