Marie Wilson was one of the nicest people I have ever known and an inspiring, devout Christian with a wonderful testimony by her life. I am glad the Lord allowed me the privilege of her acquaintance. I look forward to re-uniting with her in Glory.
Praying for your family during this time.
I remember a time, before Steve and I were married, Marie would write letters to me while I lived in NY state. She would send leaves and flower petals from Asheville\’s foliage, telling me I should come down and see more of GOD\’s Wonders there. Her prayers and letters undoubtedly had a great impact on my life because that\’s where I went! And that\’s where I found the Lord Jesus Christ precious to my soul! I never returned to NY, except to visit! Marie has been a godly influence in my life ever since ~ and I look forward to seeing her again in GLORY!
Andrea and Richard, we were so sorry to hear that Marie passed away recently. As you know, we were neighbors a few years and Andrea was about the age of Carole. I am forwarding the information to Carole as she and Joe reside in Beaverdam, VA Just West of Richmond. May God bless and keep you in this time of sorrow.
Vernon and marie lived across the street from roy and me. our children grew up together and I had a very good relationship with marie. she was always so kind and loving and I’m going to miss her. I know she’s in heaven because she loved God so.
From Carole dean Deal Chambers and Joe: We are thinking of Andrea and family and Richard and family. We have been in Virginia since 1973 and have four boys and four grandchildren. Andrea we were good friends in grade school,that was years ago and I hope you are doing well. your mom was always nice to me when Icame to your house to play. Our sympathy goes out to all your family. Joe & Carole
