So Sorry to hear about the passing of My step father. Thank you for being there when my mom (Barbara ) passed back in 2013, and for the years you guys were married. Praying for my baby brother Tony, to be able to get through without you. You will definitely be missed by all that loved you. Rest on sit, job well done!
Wilson, you were loved by all of the Meals on Wheels staff for your dedication and your positive attitude every day you came to volunteer. Whenever someone asked how you were doing, you would reply, “I’m still vertical,” with two thumbs up. You were an inspiration of hope and happiness. You will be missed and fondly remembered. Prayers for your family.
