Farewell Wilkersons






Our head elder and wife, Roger and Kay Wilkerson, are moving to LaGrande,OR. This is a huge loss the the Redmond church. The pics that follow are of the farewell party held at their house. They have a large barn that we held many social gatherings in.

I'll try to list their pic first. The following pic will be of........Gary's 3rd grd. teacher!!! She taught in Twill Falls, ID at least 100 yrs ago. Her name is Vi Van Tassel and her husband is Dean. Included in the pics is a pic of the table cloth signed by everyone in the church as a goodbye gift.

We had a "band" and sang old songs...In the Good Old Summertime, etc. Veggie dogs were on the menu.

Everyone that greeted me called me the party girl. They said they notice I don't show up for church, but never late for a party. Hmmmm.

How fun. We use to have a family that had a big barn and we would have socials there. I miss that. Wish I had a big barn...heck, wish I had a barn.
They look like a sweet couple. Just like you, Gary, Tom and I are going to look when we get older.

About Me

United States
At the present, I would describe myself first, as a child of God and follow with wife, mother, grandmother, friend, nurse and invisible woman. If you are female age 50 or above, most likely you understand my invisibility. I've always understood my mortality, it's the loss of youthfulness I grieve. I was born in NV and raised in CA (a latch-key kid). I presently reside in central OR, a lovely place to live, but leaves me lonely for my dear friends & too far from my family. I know the love of a good man. I'm the mother of 3 wonderful adult children & Grammy to two (my "adorables"), and "Nana" to a "bonus" of 5. Nursing has been my profession for 25 yrs. I believe that politics is corrupt & that we we're living in serious times. There you have it, the sum of my 56 yrs with hopes that I've made some kind of difference on this earth for the Master.
