    Mr.Wilding was a great man. Everytime I came over to see Tommy he was always working. I was fascinated with what he could do with taxidermy. He was a great man!

    Tom, You will be sorely missed by our Family. But you are at peace now and in the arms of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ. I remember when we were kids you used to torment and tease me, but I knew it was because you loved me. Will miss you a lot. Penny

    I was blessed to be Tom wilfongs granddaughter and words can't explain the impact and rold he played in my life he was always there for me w/ open arms never judgemental or angry. Weather it was spending time together fishing or driving thru the country or sneaking me money before school. All good memories And how could I forget our younger years the endless summer days of me making him watch me do "tricks" on the trampoline for hours and he never got tired of it or said no. Everyday I'm thankful for everything he's/theve done for me my life wouldnt b the same w/ out the time he/they put into me. Il be seeing you Bre and dad Robby again! Xoxo
