SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES!! Wayne and Margaret Wilmoth had such a WARM, FUN home as a child growing up visiting Cheryl. I remember them both laughing alot and the JOY that prevailed! Even after Margaret’s memory was leaving her, I still enjoyed seeing her SMILING face. She was LOVED by MANY! I’m sure Wayne said to Margaret, “What took you so long?!”
Thank you for the wonderful memories of childhood. Thanks for the delightful and thrilling Christmases. Thank you for providing the place for our families to gather and share joy and love. Thank you for the camping and not getting too mad when I hooked your ear with a fishing hook. Thank you for the love that you gave to all of us and our families through the years. Thank you for marrying Ben and making me before marrying Grandpa Wayne. And thank you for the box of 16 gifts for my bicentennial birthday. And thank you for marrying Grandpa Wayne. Together you brought us lots of love and laughter through my growing up.
I love telling your story. You lived through the depression, went to school to learn to be a bookkeeper, worked for the IRS, worked as an aviation sheet metal mechanic and leader for Douglas Aircraft (now Tinker), all before joining Grandpa Wayne (who you met at Douglas) and starting Edmond Carpet Service, where you worked side by side with Grandpa doing the same work that he did for decades. You were one tough-as-nails woman.
I love you and miss you, but it is time that you join Grandma and Grandpa Brightwell, Grandpa Ben, Grandpa Wayne, and Bob on the other side. Sometime when I am really paying attention, send me a sign. I’ll be watching for it.
