I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the Wilkerson family in the loss of their mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. Mrs. Wilkerson was one of the kindest, gentlest individuals I had the pleasure of meeting. I met her through her daughter Laura Ann as her mother liked to call her and will always remember Froggy Went-A- Courtin’ . She is now with our heavenly father and watching over all of you.

Nana--Our family feels very honored to have known you these last 8 years. The world is a little less bright without your presence in it. We will miss you and your unique personality and when you get done giving Grandpa a piece of your mind and sewing new robes for the choir of angels, watch over Mom and Charity. Love you!!

I only knew 'Nanna' for a few years, but she will be greatly missed by myself and all her loved ones. I just want every one to keep in mind that 'GOD only cries for the living.' With all my love, Marie

Nana will always be one of the most important people in my life. While I am sad she will never see me graduate next year or grow up from here on out, I am at peace with her passing. She deserves to go home. I will always love and miss you Nana but I know that you are in such a better place that I would not dare take that from you. From you loving great-granddaughter, Cierra

Too many happy memories to fit in this space, but I know my Grandma is still with me. She was on my shoulder all day yesterday as I tried to keep the tears away by decorating the Christmas tree in her memory. 'Wally-don't put two blue next to each other.' She kept saying in my ear. I wish with all my heart I could be there with my family for my mom and sister. I will alway's cherish that by some unforeseen destiny I was able to talk with Grandma one last time the day before she went to heaven. Grandma I love you.
