    I remember spending time at the Wilson home with Janis when we were in school. Miss TommIe was one of the cool moms! She was a very sweet lady. I saw her many years later at a high school reunion and she was as beautiful as ever! Prayers for the family during this difficult time. Libby Peebles

    Goodness to count the number of days and nights I spent in this wonderful lady's home are too numerous. It was my home away from home for many years. We spent time at both her Moms house and her Mother in laws house too. She was one of a kind and loved ny so many. I loved all of you Fred, Janis and Sandra and of course Stevie Lee. My heart goes out to each of you and all the grandkids as well. Losing a mom is one of the hardest to get over(and I think you never truly do). My prayers are with you as you lay her to rest. She will be so happy getting to see her family
    Remember the good times and laugh often but cry when you need to cry. Love you all. Vickie

    Prayers for the family. I haven't seen Tommie in a while but we are related. When we were younger I saw her more and always loved her and thought she was beautiful. Praying that the Lord will strengthen and comfort you at this difficult time.

    Dear Wilson Family,
    I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother? As I get older I realize that we are never ready to give up our precious Mother! Your Mother was always so beautiful and sweet. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
    I went to Drew Central and graduated with Janis and Stevie Lee. However, I remember all of you and I am thinking of each of you during this difficult time. May God send each of you his peace and comfort.
