Condolences
Dear Wilson Family
I am the guy whose volunteer work is in the "Blacksmith Shop" at the CCC Museum, in Quiet Dell. I am the "Appointed" 1931 Model "AA" Ford 1-1/2 ton Truck Mechanic. I am told that I am a Board Member. Quite an honor, to me, to ressurect this CCC Era WORKHORSE to running condition! I happen to own her equivalent at home, a 1930 Model, her name is "Belle". As my own parents were members of one of the CCC Camps in Sequoia National Park, it is only natural for me to want to keep this history alive for the younger generations to have a Role Model of a U.S. Government Agency that really DID accomplish something important in many ways!!! Please take NOTICE, Washington, folks of long ago can HELP you!!!
We, Joy and I, are sorry for your loss, Yet , in another way after reading the kind loving statements in the Obituary, I see a life WELL LIVED and an important couple that contributed a lot to the Human Race while here, so I for one, will celebrate their important lives, Soul is eternal and now in a better place, after sharing their values with their family and others. Being a choir person, myself, I'll betcha that Anna Priscilla gets to SING again! Edwin and Joy Winet, the new kids on the block at Quiet dell CCC's. May the blessings BE! Love.
We will miss her very much. She was a sweet wonderful person.
This promise make by our Heavenly Father must have been a great sort of comfort to Mrs. Anna as she did her Bible reading. (Revelation 21:3-5) I hope now it will comfort those who loved her.
