Our condolences to all the family, especially our special and precious friend Jaynette. May God comfort all of you.
What a loss to us that Roy and Wilie Mae both have gone on to their resting place. They were true friends to us and Roy was like a son to my Dad, ‘Pop’ Carter. We will miss him. He was by our house only a few weeks ago and we had a good time remembering school days, bear hunts, and some of his memories of ‘Pop’
May God bless the family.
To the family of Roy Wilson:
My sincere sympathy to the family. I know he is at peace with no more pain or suffering.
