You Wilsons have been a big part of our lives for over 50 years from the night that Ab pulled me over for speeding one night as I drove to my place after a late play rehearsal to the week Scott helped us move to PA until today. Nora, you and Ab raised beautiful (inside and out) children. You were grandparents to our daughter. Do you remember Britain telling Ab that he looked gruff and he sounded gruff but he was really nice. We regret that we weren't at home to see and comfort everyone during these sad times. From the Carolinas, know that you all are loved and missed. We remember you fondly. Even Scott in his Kent State mascot costume.
My condolences to the children, grandchildren and great grand children of Nora Wilson
