I am saddened to hear of Wilford´s passing. We attended school together in Amelia. At our class reunions, Wilford was the "Master of Ceremonies". He was a good man and will be missed. I pray for his family and friends as they grieve his loss.

My heart goes out to the Poore family. Mr. Wilford treated me like family whenever I would visit with Tater. I know that you will miss your husband, father, and grandfather, but I trust that his spirit will live on in each of you. God bless you, and you will be in my prayers. Beaverdam
