Dear Uncle Jim, Becky, and Jeff,
We are sorry to hear of Aunt Sally's death. We know how difficult it is to say good bye to those we love.
I remember Sally as a second Mom. Your home in the village of Webster was a sanctuary to me as a child, your family a second family. I remember sitting on the stairs trying to hear Perry Wilson - Aunt Sally didn't approve of Deb and I watching it. And I remember the dog and tuna sandwiches and the back yard. Debbie and I had a small table in the dining room on which we would draw. And I remember camping on Cape Cod...
Most of all, I am so grateful to Aunt Sally and you, Jim, for the friendship you both offered my mother and the years of family fun we all shared together. She loved you both so.
Know that our prayers are with you and we will see you on the 22nd.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Proctor

We were so fortunate to be part of Mrs. Wilson's extended family through the connection of our Cambodian born children. We shared many a family event, happy and sad, and were so fond of her. We know what a loss this is, what a year it has been, and how devoted her family is to her. Mai and Tola send their dearest love to their best pals, Sam and Minea, and with deepest love and sorrow, we stand with you in this time. Lovingly, Joanne and Laurie

Dear Jim, Becky, Jeff, Tom and grandkids, Sally was a dear, sweet friend and we love her and miss her. We could count on Sally to always beat us at Scrabble and to finish the Sunday crossword puzzle before we were even out of bed! She was a wonderful cook and comfortable hostess during our many stays in the Wilson house and on most days, visitors had just left in time for Sally to get ready for the next ones. Life will not be the same without Sally, but we have lovely memories of this special person and those memories will make us smile.

Dear Mr Wilson, Jeff, Becky and Family,

My thoughts are with you at this sad time. I will certainly miss our evening conversations, keeping up with the Red Sox getting the old Boston Globes and seeing the latest pictures of the grandchildren. Mrs. Wilson's passing has left a void in our hearts as well. It was a pleasure to care for her at RiverMead.

Dear James, At your 50th wedding anniversary, I remember thinking about your love for and devotion to Sally and your obvious commitment to each other. It has always inspired me and made me hope for the kind of relationship that you have had for 64 years. Sally was a treasure and one spunky lady who I admired. I have missed her and will miss her. With much love and heartfelt sympathy to you and the children and grandkids. Love Dawn
