There are no words to express the sorrow, we all feel at the passing of such a loving and caring man. Both Uncle Wilkie and Aunt Ethel were truely heaven sent.
As painful as this is, take comfort in the knowing, they are together again in heaven. As we will all be, someday.
Rest in Peace, Uncle Wilfred. You were such a sweet man, and I know there are many in heaven who have waited to welcome you with joy. We will miss you.
This is a sad day for all of us. Seeing him brought me back to the days growing up in Jamaica Plain and the great experience when we lived so close together. It may be more valuable to me because I have lived out of state for so long. I remember the day when I was 16 and he let me use his car with a stick shift that he taught me to use the day before I took the driving test for my license. I love uncle Wilkie and want to express my sincere regrets to his family.
Uncle Wilkie you have left the pain behind and may you rest in peace.
I take comfort in knowing you are in a brighter place sitting at a table somewhere with Aunt Ethel, Chuckie and My mom and Dad tossing the poker Chips around with Nana watching over all of you.
I will always cherish the memories of the family get -togethers, the many days at the beach avoiding the sand sharks and jelly fish, the holiday meals and the kindness
you have shown me.
Your house was my second home growing up, my shelter when I rebelled and ran away, you and Aunt Ethel always welcomed me with open arms and I know the Angels of God have wrapped there wings around you and have welcomed you to their home the same as you have welcomed so many others to yours.
You will be missed ,yet you leave behind so many fond memories for myself and others, who could ask for a better legacy. Kiss everyone for me. Goodbye Uncle

Dear Barbara and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. You were a wonderful daughter to him and you can feel comforted knowing that you cared for him unconditionally until the Lord called him home. He is now at peace, and I pray for you and your family at this most difficult time.
Love,
Susan
