We were neighbors of Mrs. Wilson. I fondly remember her visiting us about every 2 weeks to sell and delilver Avon. My mother would always order beauty products from her and occasionally would let me. Mrs. Wilson would bring me those little lipsticks that I would use to play dress up! She was a dear lady obviously loved by so many. I am sorry your for your loss.
