She was such a wonderful woman and an inspiration to everyone that came in contact with her. She was my second "mom", she will be missed. We loved her dearly. Praying for all her family.

We would stop to visit when we came back “home” and she would always say, “I know you are a Wilson but are you Sandra, Lynda or Marion?” We would laugh! Such a great sense of humor. She will be missed.
Let nothing draw me back
Or turn my heart from thee,
But by the Calvary track
Bring me at last to see
The courts of God, that city fair,
And find my name is written there.
