Not sure if a condolence from the Doris Wilson Family made it onto this site. But I hope Sam and Nancy see this and if they would like to make contact with us I´m hoping you see my email. We have been trying g for a few years to find out where Virginia was after she moved out if the Gridley house.

Hello! I am the daughter in law of Doris Lewis Wilson Gingers older sister. We were only recently made aware that Virginia had passed. I had been trying to locate aunt Ginger for a few years on and off. My husband Mike had been keeping in touch with her on and off through cards and phone calls but one day all numbers we had were disconnected and we just couldn´t get any information about her whereabouts. The last address we had was a house in Gridley CA and through a public records search I found that the property was owned by the Edgar Stanton Estate and I wrote to the trustees of the trust to seek information. I never received a response or returned mail.
The one thing I could never find was a death notice so I felt she was still alive but never able to find out where she was being cared for.
On behalf of Doris May Wilson, Michael Wilson, and myself and our children we offer our condolences.
I wish the family had been closer and that we could have known as aunt Ginger had been keeping a line open with us.
I hope your families are find solace and peace I. This time since your mother and grandmother passed away.
