A message from her loving husband… “When we take our vows and say, "until death do we part," we are lying to ourselves. Death only brings a physical departure. A marriage and the bond between a husband and wife make two people into one. That means that even when we lose a wife, we are still left with that special love that burns inside and never dies. That internal love burns on even if our wife is no longer with us. Clinging to that love inside of us, even if it can never be physically expressed, should carry us and sustain us in her passing. GOD bless me for having the loving wife who will always be in my heart and soul..” A message from her daughter… A message from her grandson… Condolences may be sent to the family at www.wilkersonfuneral.com.
