To the Wilkinson family, My prayerful sympathy. I was Scott's second grade teacher at St. Joe's, Mandan. I remember Scott and his parents well. What a long, full life Gary lived. He was a wonderful father always interested in his children and their activities. I pray that this faithful servant of God is rejoicing in God's presence with peace and love. Sincerely, Sister Susan Lardy
