Angie and family,
My heart goes out to all of you. Mr. Wilson touched the lives of many, I being one of them. He was my English teacher my sophomore year at SHS. Then again when I struggled as a freshman at SIU, Mr. Wilson came to my rescue. I sat at his kitchen table for hours as he helped me with an English paper.
Angie, your family and mine were very close over the years. Your dad left a legacy of love, compassion & had a heart of gold. I pray that the anointing of the Holy Spirit will be upon you and your family during your time of morning. Prayers and thoughts with you.

Paula and family..my heart feels your heart at this time. There are no "right words", but my best for you is my constant prayer for our Father to hold you close and provide the Peace that passes all understanding. I know its real. Stay on his lap and let Him hold you. And know, without a doubt, He WILL sustain you in every possible way, now and in the days to come. This world is not our home. It won't be long until we are all together again,rejoicing with each other and with the One we love most. My thoughts and prayers will continue for you.
