Aunt Leora and family, My heart goes out to you Aunt Leora, Judy, Jean, Uncle Richard, Aunt Lois and my mother Miriam. I have pleasant memories of my uncle and was saddened by the news, but I also needed to quickly remindmyself that he is dancing with the angels with his mother Alvina, father George, his son Steven, Eunice and so many others. He has finally met his Lord and Savior. Death is a sad time but also a time of hope and reassurance that we will all be with Jesus one day. Remembering you Uncle Wilbert today and always. Love your niece Janelle and familyOcean Springs, MS 12/29/2012 2:42 PM
