  3. To Robin, Mother Wilson and family, my heart grieves with
    you this day. Mr. Wilson was a great teacher and tangible example of the
    gospel. Such an awesome dad, husband, church leader, neighbor, friend and
    so much more… I praise God for having the opportunity to know him and the
    legacy of faith and love he has deposited into his family. There are no words
    to fill your void. Our hearts are broken, yet his spirit is free to worship at
    the throne. Thank you Lord, for blessing us with Bro. Wilson.
