  1. Dear Aunt Birdie and Family,
    I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Wibur’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will be thinking about you during this difficult time and sending my heartfelt sympathy and prayers.

  2. Aunt Birdy~
    My deepest sympathy and condolences to you. I will always remember the little things like the way his eyes would twinkle when he was teasing. He will be missed.
    Blessings on you.

  3. We were very sad to hear about Wilber’s passing. I worked for Wilber two seperate times, and he was always very patient with me, even at times that maybe he shouldn’t have been. He was a very nice man whom I’ve looked up to for many years. I know that my son Robbie adored him. Wilber and Birdie were just like grandparents to Robbie and I know that Robbie misses him dearly. I know that Wilber has been welcomed into heaven and has probably already started working on God’s new swimming pool. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family.

  4. Dear Aunt Birdie and family,
    Dewayne and I were very sorry to hear about the loss of Uncle Wilber. He was a very special man and had a very kind and gentle spirit.
    Jennifer and Amanda asked that we let you know that they were sorry to hear about Uncle Wilber and that they are thinking about you as well.
    All of you are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this very tough time in your life and in all the days ahead of you.
    God Bless all of you,
    Dewayne, Ellen, Jennifer and Amanda
