Dimple and Family,
May God hold you and keep you in his loving arms. Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Clyde and my Daddy (Jack Parsons) worked together and were also good friends. It’s hard to let them go, but you will meet him again at the heavenly gates. God Bless you all.

To the family of Clyde Wilson:
I am a daughter of Monia Wilson Weatherly (Tom Wilson's daughter) and have heard mom speak of Mr. Wilson when I was a child. She would have been about his age (she would have been 92 now). I am so sorry of hear of his death and extend my deepest sympathy. I am sure he left many pleasant memories.
