Dear Inez,
Our hearts go out to you at this time. Where most people have their children for usually 18 to about 24 years, we have been chosen by God to take care of our children for their lifetime. Only those in our situation can understand what it means to have to give them up. Of course, we can rest in the fact that she is being taken care of even better than a mother can. Only God’s love is greater than a parent.
God bless,
Howard & Mary

I am thinking of your family during your loss. My Mom,Betty Jean Wynne, thought so much of your entire family. I can remember going to the bowling alley with her , and visiting you and Jeannie at your home. Those are the times I miss with my Mom as well,sharing special times with your family. I’m sorry I could not be there in person, we have been out of town, Love, tecie and family.
Inez,
I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and praying for you in the loss of Jeannie. I fondly remember those all-night Scrabble games and fish fries you and Ed and Jeannie came to at our house and at Marjorie and Earl’s. In Christ’s Love, Rick
Dear Inez, You have our sincere empathy in your loss of Jeanie under these circumstances. We were so sorry to hear of her passing. I think you always hold out some hope of a miracle, but we can’t second guess God’s plan.
Dear Inez, As one mother to another, I can empathize with you in your loss of a daughter to such a harsh illness. I know it’s hard to believe now, but it gets a little better over time. God bless you. Alice Corn
Dear Mrs Wilson,
My thoughts and sympathies are with you. I’ll always remember Jeannie and you and Mr Wilson, and the opportunity to watch Monday Night Boxing on your TV (with popcorn provided) before we had a TV of our own, and maybe even after. It was a treasured time for our families to be together. Even though we have not seen each other very much over the last forty plus years, I have felt up-to-date and familiar thru my Mom’s letters mentioning you, and pictures, especially in these last difficult years.
While you struggle with the days ahead, I hope you’ll be able to ‘keep the shiny side up’.
Love, Dave
I have fond memories of the years that I have known the Wilson family. I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt condolences and prayer that you may see the true work of God in everything that has come your way and that He will protect and uplift you in this time of loss and sorrow. I love you all and wish I could have been there.
