From the Gospel of Matthew: Your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
Thomas Wayne Wilson left this world on January 24, 2017. His children, brother, and sisters left behind were devastated. So many people shared and are still sharing in our grief.
We are truly humbled by the outpouring of your love. Way too many people to name individually. Not a day goes by that one of your faces comes into our conscious with words or deeds for our family. We are forever grateful for your support b your love, food, monetary giving, counseling, time and daily texts. Anonymous donations to the memorial fund and family will be forever treasured. We love every one of you and we pray that God pours out His blessings on you.
There are not enough words in the English language to explain our sincere appreciation towards this community of friends, co-workers, and church families from the Bootheel to Saint Louis.
A very special thank you to Chuck Clark, Jeff Roth, Greg Mathis/ Rainey-Mathis Funeral Home staff, Risen Church, Liberty Hill Church, New Bethel Church, Don Garner, Dale Dunmyer, Robert and staff at Cape Pre-Owned, Colby Quinn, Valley Griffith, Mike Bien, and the Dexter location, Barreth (Schicker Chrysler) in Washington, MO, Jim Tweedy, Dexter School teachers, Sikeston EMTs and Missouri Delta Hospital.
Please share if you know someone who knew Tommy, help us show our appreciation. Tommy had a contagious smile, so when you think of him, smile, and know you were loved. We love your heart, we love you.
