Hi John. . .I'm so sorry to hear about the too-early death of your beloved Shirley. I'll never forget how proud you were of her accomplishments, particularly her daycare. Seeing and reading the obituary reminded me about how much I appreciate how you affected my life. I'm retiring at the end of July as VP of Student Services at Bates. If I remember right, Shirley graduated from the Bates' Early Childhood Education program. I still think about and use many of your 'success strategies.' God bless you and your family in your loss. In sincere respect and appreciation. Gwen Rockwell Sailer

John: Our favorite memories of Shirley was when we were teenagers. She and I were roommates at Jack & Eva's. She was one of my bridemaids and I was one of her's. I am sorry that we lost touch after your marriage, but so glad you found us to attend your 50th. We are glad you were able to attend the Peretti family reunion so we could reacquaint ourselves. Time goes by so quickly and before you know it we are the 'elderly.' To know that we will all be reunited again brings hope to the grieving soul. We continue to pray for you and your family. Don't forget to give us a call when you come Oregon way. We would love to see you again. God bless you and give you the peace only He can give.

John, Johnny, and Cynthia (always Susie to me!) - I wish I knew the right words to say to you. I really don't know how people make it when they lose a loved one that does not know the Lord. What a comfort it is to know that Shirley is waiting for us in Heaven. Shirley was a great role model and mentor for me. She was always such fun to be around and I enjoyed my many visits to your home(s). I know you will miss her EVERY SINGLE DAY. Please know that you are all in my heart and prayers. Much love - Carla

John, I'm sorry to hear about Shirley's passing. How wonderful that you had 53 years together! I met her at Thelma's service and remember as being a lovely and gracious lady. Remember all the happy times and know that she is still with you every day.

I have such great memories of Shirley. When I was a child, my family traveled to Yakima to visit the Wilson's. We played and laughed the entire visit. I remember my Aunt Shirley purchased paper plates after holidays and used them as her own 'summer china' each year. We will miss our special friend and relative. Love to you, John Roena

Dear John and Family - It has been a long time since I was part of your loving family, but time does not go by that I don't think of you. I was very sorry to hear of the pasing of Shirley, she was one of a kind, a great lady. I know that your life right now is very empty as I lost my husband of 26 year in August. Time does heal a lot of things but the space in your heart that Shirley filled so well will always be there. I often think about the great times that we had. It is the great memories that will help time heal. Again, my thoughts are with you and your family. God Bless and keep you until you again will be with Shirley and those who have gone ahead of us to a much better place.

Dear Mr. Wilson, Cynthia and John: It has been many years since I've seen you, I believe it was the spring of 1974 when I said goodbye to A.C. Davis and my friends in Yakima. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and pray that God will comfort your hearts daily especially for this first year which was the hardest for my family when we lost my father-in-law. The comfort of knowing your mother is with God helps so much, but nevertheless God gives us the ability to grieve and feel the loss so that eventually the pain will lessen and thoughts of our loved one are filled with warmth and love. May God's peace rest over you all. Shalom in Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), Katrina Ludington

Meeting John and Shirley in Decatur, Il, was the greatest opportunity I had to be in touch with the history of the family I was so happy to be a part of. As these were the only words that comforted me when I lost my Dad, I'd lide to share them with you: it's not forever! Some day we will all be together again and won't miss the ones we love anymore. And at this day we'll be our best selves.

Shirley was blessed with a full life. A loving marriage for 53 years--from college days into retirement. She proved herself a devoted wife and mother. Beyond that her successful endeavor to own and operate her own child care center. Shirley and Jim shared experiences since Jim, too, was involved in a child care center in Toppenish after retiring from school teaching. She more than once said she would like to be the director, believing she could make greater improvements. She did share some beneficial ideas for improvement--and as she said, 'Quit calling it a 'day care.' Are you caring for days or children?' Shirley's love for children, her firm convictions and her devotion to her husband will always remain in our thoughts of Shirley. Her passing leaves a big hole in her family's lives but they have the blessed hope of being with her again throughout eternity. God Bless, Jim and Sharon

Dear John and Family-I had the honor of attending Shirley's service and I thought it was beautiful. It had Shirley's lovely touch from beginning to end--it was like she was there directing! She was a lovely and dedicated woman and your love as a couple is something of which dreams are made. I know you will miss her terribly. Please thank Cynthia for introducing herself to me--she has her Mother's grace. Love, Linda Knecht

Johnny, thanks for keeping me on you up-date list. As a former brother-in-law from knowing you since 1934, I know you and Shirley enjoyed a long and loving life. Also, I remember, prior to WW2 and afterwards, taking flats of strawberrys, raspberries, other fruit and vegatables from your parents small farm into town to Rev. Murpheys home. Your memories of Shirley and the two of you will be with you forever in your thoughts. Don't grieve, even though you will miss her, but concentrate on the pleasant happenings of your more than a half century together!

In 1973, having been a friend of Cynthia's for only a short time, she and I were going somewhere in Yakima while John and Shirley needed to go to church to attend a funeral. In making our plans, Shirley stated that they were going to a 'Celebration of Hope,' which was the musical Cynthia and I had sung in, and she burst out in laughter, realizing her mistake, but then went on to say that really the funeral would be a celebration of hope since this person was a believer. And now for you, though feeling the sorrow of her passing, can rejoice because she has entered into the celebration of hope that she waited 75 years for, and her joy now can bring comfort to your heart. May the LORD JESUS encourage you with the many good memories you shared and may you be able to rejoice that someday you will again praise the LORD together. In CHRIST, Eve (Downing) Moody
