Jen and family, your Momma was such a sweet soul. I met her a few times and could feel her strength and love of the Lord. I know she is already missed and is always there in spirit. Hugs and love to you all.

We, the 1954 Senior Class of James Monroe High School send our deepest sympathy to the family of our classmate, Carol Kesel Wilkinson. She was lively, funny, involved, and a good friend. We pray the family will find peace and joy in their memories of Carol and Billy and their lives.
