God’s Word says, “The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
Trust Him during this time of sorrow. With our deepest sympathies,
Ernest, Adair and the children

Mr Wilson was a kind man who cared about people in the community and provided excellent service. My mother Rosa Rowe was housebound because of severe arthritis. In her mid 90’s, she needed a new set of dentures because of gum shrinkage. Mr Wilson came to our home and made the impressions. Once the dentures were complete he continued to come on several occasions to adjust them for comfort. That’s going above and beyond whats required for good customer service.
May God welcome Claude Wilson into his Kingdom.
“uncle Claude” was a very funny man. Whenever I saw him he could always make me laugh with one of his stories. Please accept my deepest sympathy. He will be missed
I am looking for Ida Wilson. Claude is my birth grandfather.
I lost touch with my grandmother Ida and my birth father Larry when I was 5 years old.
