George, jr, and family, the Word said; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning! Know that in Christ, Joy is constant, for He is the center of joy. So weep, if you must, and then rejoice in knowing that your earthly father's assignment/purpose was completed, and that he was called home for his reward!!

God bless you all

As He lives, in Christ, so will I......

My deepest sympathies to your entire family. While I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Wigfall, I have been a friend of Thelma Bell's for years after we became friends in our weekly exercise class. If Thelma is any indication of the type of person Mr. Wigfall was, he was truly a man to be honored, respected and loved, because Thelma's friendship is one of a kind. Please take note that the Lord shall give you peace if you look to him for guidance. My prayers are with the entire family at this most difficult time.

I will truly miss my Godfather Deacon Wigfall. He had a smile and a sunny disposition for everyone he met. He was a joy and I am glad God allowed me to know him.
To my Godmother Sister Wigfall, Cherish the moments that you had with him. God gave him to you for a moment and now He wanted His child back with him. Take care of yourself and I love you both.
