How I loved Mr Wilson
A great man

Just heard the news from Connie this afternoon and I just wanted to stop by and express my condolences to all of you. I pray the Lord will comfort and sustain you and bless you abundantly above all that you could possibly think or imagine.

Your dad lived a long and successful life and touched a lot of folks, I know. Most of all, those of you who knew him best. And as hard as I know this must be for all of you, I'm thankful for him that he's finally made it Home--where there's no more grief or sorrow, no more pain, and no more disappointment.

In a wonderful land where he'll live forever young, praising his Savior, and waiting for the rest of us to come and join him! And I look forward to that day! I don't believe it will be much longer. My mom and your dad, and many others, are already there. I look forward to meeting them all there very soon!

God Bless You All and I pray the Lord will strengthen and guide you.
