Thoughts and Prayers during your time of sorrow.
Praying for you at this difficult time. Wilma Jean was a very special lady who loved her boys so much. I have happy memories of her laugh and pride in her family. I babysat the boys for a time when they were 6 and 12. Later, I got to visit with her, after my own son was just a baby. Her words of wisdom were to enjoy each day with your family. She also mentioned the requests to make “hamburger gravy”! Mark, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
