Words can not express what I'm feeling for you and your family during this time of pain and sorrow. We may ask the question of why, but never get the answer. Just know that "Pops" is still doing the Lords work. Remember prayer changes things and it will help you all to get through this as well. Edward, sorry that I could not make it. This reminded me too much about our family member's death years ago during the holidays in a house fire. My prayers are with all of you during your time of sadness.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family Cousin Calline. Cousin Edward was like a burst of sunshine every time we'd see him. He was genuinely kind and witty and always had us leaving with a smile on our faces after seeing him. I know he is in a place just as loving and beautiful as he was. He will be sadly missed. God loves you and so do we Cousin Calline and family.

To the Wicker family ~
It's never easy to say "Good-bye!" to a loved one, however it must be done. Deacon Wicker was a solid but loving man in our family. We all love him and will miss his presence and his humor. He was a rock that stood steady within our community. He was a dear sweet and gentle man who sat quietly anticipating the punchline. Sister Calline, we are all here for you and the family for whatever you need. We love you all.
