I am so sorry to read about the loss this morning. I haven’t seen Wilburn since Ellen Jo’s funeral. Wilburn has been a good friend to me throughout my life and I will miss him dearly. Stacy’s and my thoughts are with you all during this time of both mourning and celebration. Wilburn has gone home to be with our Lord and we will see him again. Unfortunately neither Stacy nor I will be able to attend the services on Friday or Visitation on Thursday because we are out of town at a seminar.
