Dear Minnie:
Theresa and I pray that JESUS comforts you through your grief and gives you HIS strength to move forward. Wilson will always be in your heart and GOD will use the memories of Wilson to help you. We encourage you to lean on JESUS and to know that HE will always be there for you. Theresa and I will always be here for you.
GOD Bless you,
Theresa and Nord Sorensen

I am very sorry for your loss. Wilson was a good friend of mine for many years in Colorado and I came upon this sad news searching the internet in hopes of finding out some information about him. We spent a lot of time together in Colorado, playing sports and listening to music and I always considered him a good friend. Again, I offer my deepest condolences to his family.

Our hearts are broken for your overwhelming loss.  We will always cherish our memories of Wilson and the sweet times we had with him.  We love you and you remain in our thoughts and prayers.  Johnny, I'm so glad I get to see you soon and give you my love in person.  Hug your family for us.  Love, Susan & Tommy

Dear Minnie, Johnny and family,
We are so very saddened by your great loss. We have had a special place in our hearts for Wilson for such a very long time. We will keep you all in our prayers.

Dear Minnie,
We are so sorry for your loss.  I guess it has been close to 35 years since we last saw you and Wilson.  Our son Jason, 1 year younger than Wilson, was killed in 2002 by a drunk driver.  We pray that the Lord will give you the comfort and peace that only He can during this difficult time.

I would like to express my most sincere condolences for your loss. May the Lord give you peace.
