So very sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Ella. I was very fortunate to have reconnected with her a few years ago. She was a real pleasure to visit with. She will truly be missed. I wish you comfort during this very difficult time.

Dear Wilson/Kinney Family: I am so sorry for your recent loss. We are never prepared for such a tragedy. With the love and support shown by loving family, concerned friends, and the peace from God your heart will mend. Philippians 4:6,7 and Acts 24:15 were very comforting scriptures for me. I hope they do the same for you. Again, I am sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Don and Brenda Kinney.
We are deeply saddened of the passing of our friend Ella. Always enjoyed visiting with Leon and Ella at the restaurant. The family is in our thoughts and prayers.
