Harry, John, Glenn and the entire Wilson family, I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the lost of your Mother. I worked with your Mom at the Records Division at the Court House many years ago. She was such a wonderful lady. She made each day fun, filled with stories and laughter. I will miss her smiling face and kind heart. Your family will be in my prayers. God Bless all of you.

Zelma, my Zelma: How I loved this woman. First off, I knew her from church and then Mom and her worked together and then the bowling. She absolutely tore me up. We bowled with one another and then years later, my daughter Traci Carothers bowled with her and fell under her spell. Just know, I always think about her and Milan will not be the same with her gone, as my life will have yet another hole in it. Just know, I adored her.Sending you boys much love and a hug to boot.
