Words can not express my love and admiration that I have for you Wilbur. My life changed December 23, 1983 when I married Buck and became part of your family. That family has been my family for 31 years now and I am truly blessed for that. The gentleness that Buck carried in himself had come from you, his Dad...a man of strength and a love for his family. You have left me memories that no one can take away, memories that bring forth a smile and wipe away the tears. You were the Dad I needed and you treated me like I was your daughter. I will truly miss you Wilbur and my heart aches for the day when I see you, Charlotte and Buck, the love of my life. Till we see each other again. All my love. Margaret Mourning

Well Pa, I guess this will be our last conversation with me writing away and waiting for one of your witty or insightful responses. I have so many memories and thoughts right now that I can't single out any particular one. So many of them have the same central theme with you being nothing but a loving grandfather or better known as "Pa". That jovial face and laugh of yours is so infectious, I can't help but smile as I write away. Remembering back, I see you smile as you walk away while us kids conjure up some mischief which probably included locking up one of the cousins' in Chester's dog house under the porch or fighting over the wooden handle pogo stick. What about the many,many times you and Grandma traveled to Troy for a visit. You always brought us something when you came over whether it be a Hershey candy bar or some other sweet treat. I still think the biggest hit in the neighborhood was the Rock Salt you brought over for Dad. I think us girls actually made money on that one selling it to the neighbor kids as a new candy. And it just seems like the other day when Greg and I had our boys over for a visit when you came rushing out as we were leaving. The boys caught sight of it before I did and grinned from ear to ear. Of course you were giving them road snacks...6 boxes of Little Debbie snacks. That was the longest 8 hours of my life : ) Memories...so precious. You are truly going to be missed but there is a happiness that goes hand in hand with the sadness right now. You have waited so patiently to be with Grandma once again and the time has finally come. I hear Dad's band playing your song....'Waltz Across Texas'...so go and sweep Grandma onto the dance floor. Beautiful music...a beautiful couple so in love just dancing on the streets of gold. Love you all with all my heart Connie Marie Mourning Stevens
