Remembrances |
|
“Joe Wilson was my husband and best friend. As I look at his picture, those that did not know him would think him a heartless person. His intentions were good. He taught me life lessons about life and myself. He was a wonderful father and husband. Forget about the day of the murders. Somehow he thought he was doing what was best for the cause. He is forgiven,and yes still loved. ” - leslie.monique@yahoo.com“ My Buddy Joe Wilson ” - Linda Mertle“Mr. Wilson, I am posting to you to say. I do not know what went wrong with you.
But I would like to thank you for having a moment of sanity. And compassion.
And letting your wife Leslie leave that day for the picnic. And taking your son Jakari with her. Maybe you did not know it at the time. but you truly helped to save their lives.
I know you would be proud of the man is that your son has grown into. And the woman your wife Leslie has evolved into. I am just one a very many people that\'s thank you for allowing them to survive. to go on and pick up the gauntlet and tell the truth. RIP” - Cody Jau |
