Dear Don & Linda, Nina & Tim & Carole,
What words can we borrow to express or heart felt and sincere thoughts for you and all of your family at this time. We remember Todd and Nina from the times we had briefly met at some of the family gatherings. And although we never really got to know Todd his love for his family and friends was evident. It has been said that life is what happens when we are making our own plans. If I could leave you with any words of encouragements it wouldn't be from any infinite words of wisdom of mine but from our Lord who knows the hearts of all His children. Our moments here on Earth are but a short season of time contrasted against time itself and eternity which is forever. May you find encouragement and peace from the creator of life whose word is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Jesus says in Matthew 7:8 “For everyone who asks receives: he who seeks finds; and to him that knocks, the door will be opened.” God’s word of assurance gives us hope but at the same time we are not separated from the reality of the pain and loss we feel for our loved ones. May the peace and love of our Lord that passes all understanding guard your hearts and minds and may it be with you always.
Keeping you in our prayers,
Love, Karen and Greg Johns

Dear Don and Linda,
I have known Todd since he was a handsome 14 year old boy. He had a quiet gentleness about him and a heart of gold, very much like his dad. His presence will be sadly missed on this earth. Only time will heal your grief, may you be comforted by your memories of love and the support of the love that lives aoround you now.

I am so saddened to hear about Todd. We knew each other for many years, the Bank Street Cafe days, working together at Stash's, riding the Harleys, so many memories. He was so proud of his daughter, Nina, I'm sure you all miss him greatly. Although I haven't seen him since his move to Florida, Mike and I will never forget you "Cujo"

To Don Wildrick,Linda and Family,
I'm not very good communicating my thoughts in times like this, but I can't imagine anything more difficult than loosing a child. Life is forever changing and often with no regard for our individual imput. But, with the knowledge that family and friends are with us, we continue to travel the path that was chosen for us. Our thoughts are with you and family now and forever.

Todd's family would like to thank everybody for their thoughts, prayers, friendship and support.

To Todd's Family and Friends,
"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I did not die." Author Unknown
I believe that Todd would want his loved ones to hold this prayer close to their hearts at this time and to know that he is now free from all pain and suffering and will live on in all of our hearts, forever. Peace be with you all.
