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.
