It is difficult to believe you are no longer here…you always had the best smile!
I will miss you my friend…I will miss you…
Dear Uncle John,
I have been spending alot of time these past few days thinking about our lives as a family. And how you were so intertwined in my younger years. We had so many great memories. Family events, Sunday dinners at MomMom and PopPops. You living on the same street as us - then I grew up and ironically, you ended up working at the same school my boyfriend did. He knew you in his own way, outside of me. That blew my mind! (Sparky :))
I'll miss you. I know that you're not in pain and that brings me comfort in my sadness. I know you're up there having a blast being reunited with MomMom, PopPop, my Dad,…
To the entire Wilson family, i want to express my condolences and would like to say Mr. Wilson will definitely be missed. he was one of the really good guys.
Sorry for your loss. He will surely be missed. Ken and Patti Lock
