A note from the family: Due to the current surge of Covid-19 infections, it is not advisable to gather in groups. The family will livestream this event so that you may attend virtually to help stop the spread of the virus. There is a limit to in person attendance, so the family will send individual invitations, and will need an RSVP before the event to ensure that we are adhering to all CDC guidelines. Our sweet mother was taken by this virus, she followed every guideline to protect herself and others. She took this virus very seriously. She would not want anyone else to be put at risk. If you do not feel well or have any symptoms, please stay home. If you are not practicing social distancing, or not wearing face coverings, please join us via livestream in lieu of the in person event. We love you all very much, and so did our Mother. It is important that we honor her life, by stopping the spread of this horrible virus. May our Mother rest in eternal peace, reunited with our Daddy and our precious Lord. The family is in the care of Virgil Wilson Mortuary in Mission.
