My dearest Wilsons,
While I am positive there was a grand reunion in heaven as soon as my mother heard Nathalie had arrived, I am more certain that her departure from my life leaves a giant void. She has been a wonderful surrogate mother, special mentor and beloved friend to me and my family and I will forever carry and treasure the memories of being an honorary Wilson close to my heart.
Love to all, MaryMac

I first met mom Wilson in Adams Run in 1971. I can see her cooking in that kitchen as if it were yesterday. She was my mother-in-law for 20 years and we remained close until her passing. She was a wonderful mother-in-law and one of the two best grandmothers I could wish for my son, Scott, her only grandson. I had many conversations with her over the years (the most recent being the Thursday before her passing) and I will miss hearing her voice. I will cherish all of the wonderful memories I have of times shared with her. John, Scott, Mary, Ruth, Audrey, Jessie, Natalie and Angela I send love and prayers your way. She loved all of you and, although she is physically gone from us, her spirit will live on through all of you. Much love, Susie
