Our thoughts and prayers are with your family right now. Wilbur was a very good friend to my dad "Alabama" and the only one he would let work on our roof. He was also a very giving person and our neighbor my entire life. It hurts my heart to see his pickup and him not driving it. My dad just passed on May 5 of this year, so Wilbur will be fine in heaven as am sure my dad will show him the way. And to Mary Jane my heart hurts so much for you to have lost your life long partner, but Wlibur is no longer suffering and has moved on so that he can again take of you. Our neighborhood will not be the same without him. He will be missed. With much love,,,Trina and Buddy
