Dear Wilmer,
When I became employed at Dorothy Lane Market/Oakwood in 2002, one of my greatest pleasures was interacting with you and Mary when you came into the store to buy her favorite soup or even to order a caseload of the soup. In our conversations I was always impressed with your love for one another and the fun you had together. I congratulated you on your 60th anniversary. I prayed for you when Mary could no longer come shopping with you. I was inspired by your undying devotion to her in these past difficult years. I wish I could be there Saturday to honor her memory alongside you. Know that you are in my prayers today. I trust you will sense God's consoling Spirit with you. Thank you for modeling the essence of marriage and friendship. God bless you!
