Tanya has been my dear friend for quite some time now. At HCC, she was always the voice of reason, the go-to resource, and one that could be counted upon for some dry humor that just knocked you over - always with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes. What a wonderful colleague to have! Tom, and all of her family, you must know she was loved by many. My hope is you will find comfort in the unique and beautiful memories she has left behind, as they are her gifts. I am grateful for mine. You are in my prayers, and may she rest in peace.

Ma Wilson was just a wonderful and strong person. Me and the boys (Johnny and Bobby B.) loved her like she was our own mom....and she treated us that way. She put her foot down when she had to. Thank you for putting up with our shenanigans (and there were many). Spending time with Barry and the family was a true joy of growing up together. I miss the entire Wilson family so much....broke my heart to see you leave. Barry was a best friend from 1st grade. God bless you and keep you, may he smile upon you; until we walk in His light again.

Ma Wilson will always hold a very special place in my heart. This just breaks my heart. Funny, loving and a tad strict will be how I will remember her.
